Others

Today I was unanimously relieved of my position as chairman of the Free Voters. I was allowed to lead this association for a good two years. I was very pleased to receive a bag made from an old construction fence banner - a nice reminder of a very strange election campaign.

It's interesting how a non-profit organization in Heilbronn, namely the city and district youth association, can have a bank account of 1,46 million euros. The Heilbronn associations of which I am a member get into trouble with the tax office much sooner. But it's even more interesting that the city and district youth association continues to be financed with taxpayers' money.

However, the Frankenbahn is still not doing well, which should come as no surprise to anyone.

tax waste

Alliance 90/The Greens, CDU and SPD agree on one thing: Our tax money can be thrown out the window without any inhibitions, especially when our representatives can get more than a healthy bump in the process.

And at the latest when our state parliament has over 200 representatives, it will be the turn of the local councils in the state — a doubling of the number cannot be ruled out either. This is probably why the town halls are sabotaging the referendum "Reducing the size of the state parliament in Baden-WürttembergHeilbronn's city leaders have also been thinking about building a new town hall for some time. In the end, the entire city center could serve as the town hall and administration alone, which would also put an end to the debate about vacancies and bad business.

Since not only we citizens, but also more and more businesses and companies are being crushed by the immense tax burden and completely excessive bureaucracy, the question is slowly but surely being asked how we are going to continue to pay for this bureaucratic and administrative madness.

Until then, the German credo that ten non-swimmers replace one lifeguard will continue to apply.

Panaeng Curry

It's been quite a while since I ate a good peanut sauce in a restaurant in Heilbronn, about 30 years. And so I took advantage of the recommendation of an acquaintance and the opportunity of a regular's table to try the above Thai speciality, among other things.

A wok dish with red curry paste and coconut milk, peanuts, beans, peppers and more peanuts. Instead of duck, I chose chicken.

The spiciness of the dish was chosen so that you could still taste the different ingredients, especially the peanuts.

I was more than satisfied with this main course, but I found the starter with an acceptable peanut sauce to be a little too dry overall, but the honey-baked bananas with ice cream were a very good compensation.

I will definitely visit Asia Noy again and will probably stick with this dish; you can also combine it with beef.
