How in 'tarnation' did this come about

Many of you who read this blog have gotten accustomed to stories that relate to the abuses of government and those elected to serve in some sort of government capacity. In the next few months this blog will do something that may have never been done in this city which is to explain the city charter and why Springfield is different from cities without a charter.

The opinions of the charter are solely those of the writer and we will make sure you know what is factually written vs what is opinion about the written words. The charter is quite a compelling document but very few residents know of the meaning of this document, not that it surprises me since very few people have read or understand the written word of the Constitution of the United States. Not that it would make much of a difference since that document has been so bastardized by those in charge of the interpretation of such written word.
