Laugh or you'll cry

I didn't watch the World Juniors last night as we couldn't find a channel that was showing it but tracked the score on the net. My hopes soared when it tied and I crashed when we lost. Not in the mood for celebration I then started to catch up on the SP local news.

I did catch the article were the Mayor talked about developing the 50 year plan to replace the 15 year old plan for city development. Regrettably he, and thankfully I, will not be around to pay for it. I do give him credit for a sense of humour when he stated it was driven by economics and we will be able to generate revenue. He neglected to say the revenue generation would be derived from property tax payers. Adding $1 million for maintenance costs for River Landing, operational costs for the expensive (and possibly world's largest) swimming pool and bus passes for the working poor do not generate revenue. If past performance is the best indicator of future performance, we are hooped!

The best laid plans of mice and mayors . . . .
