Mayor Phil Pool Talks Streets, Sales Tax & Potential New City Hall

Former Big Lake City Council Member Deona Thompson penned a letter to the editor in last week’s Big Lake Wildcat urging the voters of Big Lake to vote against The City of Big Lake’s ‘Proposition A’ – a measure which would dissolve The Big Lake Economic Development Corporation and send its ½ sales tax to the City’s General Fund.   In that letter, Thompson brought up several issues she has with the proposition, and given her experience on the city council, and as a former BLEDC director herself, we at the Wildcat felt it is our responsibility to bring the questions she has about the proposition to Big Lake Mayor Phil Pool.   We sat down with Mayor Pool and City Secretary Stacey Stroud late Tuesday evening to discuss ‘Proposition A.’
