____________________________
UPDATE: Monday, April 6th, 2:10 pm:

The full packet of information for tonight's meeting is available on Ruston Reports.

Here is a copy of the resolution that requires formal negoiations with Tacoma for contracting with them for any or all municipal services and annexation. It references a letter to be sent by the mayor. I've asked for a copy of that letter, which I will post if I can get a copy before the meeting tonight. _____________________________________

Monday's meeting begins at 7 pm at Town Hall, 5117 N. Winnifred. On tap is a discussion of an official resolution titled "Contracting with Tacoma for Municipal Services/Annexation". I will try to get a copy of the resolution on Monday and post it here. If you are concerned about the council's decision to pursue discussions with Tacoma about annexation, this meeting may be of interest.

Our town leaders have a split personality. Sometimes they want Ruston to be the Medina of Pierce County and then other times they want to be Tacoma. We have gone through very bad times and survived. The future is looking good...and these people want to give in. They aren't true Rustonites, true Rustonites dig in and fight their way out.

We should try putting them all in a paper bag... and see if they can fight their way out of that.
