The Homer city manager and council once again are trying to cram a tax down our throats. Last week the city's finances were said to be healthy and at the same time the city was crying "poor mouth." The very idea of spending $5,000, possibly more, on a pamphlet supporting the re-establishment of a grocery tax is a major insult to the intelligence of Homer residents.

We have an election for council members coming up in October. It would be a grave mistake to re-elect the present council members up for election, should they decide to run again. By the same token it would be most wise to consider replacing the city manager. We desperately need a change.
