WTF that's like saying I am paying high taxes today because the freeway was built in the 70's but I use it every day. The day we start holding plebiscite questions about tax implications of new projects can't come soon enough. I think people will be more involved if they see exactly where the dollars are being spent and can say no before they bill comes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319042645944598014.post-48430796168953714742011-04-11T14:16:40.452-06:002011-04-11T14:16:40.452-06:00we get what we vote for!

There isn't one councillor with any sort of foresight or planning. <br /><br />Even worse through years of no standards and poor evaluations the City Administration is proving themselves more inept than council.<br /><br />If anyone runs for Mayor on the platform that they will clean out City Hall and City Admin they would have my vote.<br /><br />This feels like a bad movie where everyone can see how lazy, self serving, and useless the City employees are. Someone needs to ride into town and clean up the gong show. Everyone is too settled and there is no accountability (for heaven's sake department heads aren't even expected to keep to their budgets, no one has reasonably forecasted the cost of any project, the maintenance of city is in disrepair, etc..), just collect their pay cheques and mail in their jobs.<br /><br />What a joke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
