Ruston: Keep resisting the big-boy bullies

Re: “Ruston officials plead to keep control of development,” (TNT, 1/24).

Big guys picking on the little guys has always made me bristle.

After reading the article about the City of Ruston fighting for its rights, two words stood out: “hard-charging developer.” Big surprise.

What also stood out was that the annexation push is led by Tacoma, a city that’s just lost a big business, State Farm. Desperate much?

Leave Ruston alone and quit strong-arming the little guy. Hang in there, Ruston.
