He preaches exactly what the Bible teaches on the subject (and I'll be willing to bet he preaches about other sins, too.) Just because someone disagrees with your lifestyle does not make them bigoted or afraid of you. Besides, that wasn't the topic of the forum or of this blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-51299924207046219672007-08-27T16:38:00.000-05:002007-08-27T16:38:00.000-05:00that pesky Indiana constitution. something about church-state separation, and forbidding public monies from funding religious based projects. its in there somewhere.<BR/>btw- donate to my F.B.I. and help the poor. namely, me!<BR/>giggle!David C Roachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03001418779103813547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-4542729203999712372007-08-27T15:42:00.000-05:002007-08-27T15:42:00.000-05:00<I>When this subject came up Peterson stated that five million is to be set aside for education, he didn't elaborate much beyond that.</I><BR/><BR/>The ORIGINAL plan was the increase was ALL supposed to go to public safety!!!!<BR/>Guess Bart lied again!!!<BR/><BR/><BR/><I>You don't agree with him, and that'a fine.

You haven't seen lies because you need a new paradigm. Take off the rose colored sunglasses and take a look...the city is headed in a downward spiral.

I think there have bene multiple screw-ups.<BR/><BR/>But I have seen no lies.<BR/><BR/>And it is getting old to hear that, over and over.<BR/><BR/>And no, I don't work for him.

Garrott Benjamin is one of those Prophets for Profits. He drives around in a $90,000 car, just as Jesus would. He also struts around in his $2500 suits. Christ, he could get a better looking suit at Leon Tayloring for less than $1000.<BR/><BR/>Bishop Benjamin is scum.<BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUsMxuzjLSgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-53358114335733366402007-08-27T09:30:00.000-05:002007-08-27T09:30:00.000-05:00I want to know why that meeting ended more than 1/2 hour early with at least 15 taxpayers waiting to talk at the microphones.<BR/><BR/>The meeting was clearly not comfortable for Mayor Peterson. The mayor never once accepted responsibility for his part in any of this. His finger pointing continued.<BR/><BR/>The published press announcements for the meeting stated it ran from 5pm to 8pm. <BR/><BR/>Why did the Bishop call the meeting short? Any theories?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-42429292215435265702007-08-27T09:08:00.000-05:002007-08-27T09:08:00.000-05:00"Ugh", this lie crap is getting old, Then why don't you tell your boss to stop lying and and take responsibility for the mess he's created? If you want to call names which is a typical M.O. for this administration why dont you back it up with proof?

You're wrong, but regardless, one tax inrease was too many.<BR/><BR/>Look at it this way, Gary: it was a community forum. The mayor was issued an invitation. He didn't hide.<BR/><BR/>Candidates can't always choose their forums.<BR/><BR/>The Mayor indicated his support for our community by pushing for and signing the HRO. I know how he feels on the subject. Tom Benjamin is a goof on this issue. He has choir members who're one of us for cryin' out loud, and he knows it.<BR/><BR/>Hypocracy, meet Tom. Tom, hypocracy. <BR/><BR/>You oughta know each other real well.<BR/><BR/>Unity in the Community, indeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-23793982094195519402007-08-26T21:51:00.000-05:002007-08-26T21:51:00.000-05:00"Is Benjamin going to get any of that money the Mayor has set aside for faith-based initiatives courtesy of his $90 million, 65% increase in the income tax?"<BR/><BR/>When this subject came up Peterson stated that five million is to be set aside for education, he didn't elaborate much beyond that.<BR/><BR/>When questioned Peterson stated that he sees no reason to raise taxes again if he is reelected.
