Same thing happened here many years ago and continues to happen today.

Buddy Villines is the county judge. Got a new arena built, a money losing bottomless pit imho, nicknamed "The BuddyDome".

Can't remember them all, millions for bicycle paths no one uses, a sidewalk bridge over the Arkansas river to a sandbar, another sidewalk elevated running over the top of a lock and dam, rebuilt a rusted railroad bridge over the river, etc.

Yet every election, we got to raise taxes, we're broke! No shit!

Voters finally got smart and started ignoring the the idiots threatening to cut fire and emergency services if we don't get more money to blow on our projects to nowhere.
