CR leaders are wasting money

In remembering the old story about the last straw to break the camel's back, I think of Cedar Rapids.

Our leaders are trying to do just that. They pay millions to keep Physicians' Clinic of Iowa around and disrupt traffic. They waste millions and millions on the U.S. Cellular Center. They waste millions on a hotel and then remodel it. They waste millions on the new library site and building. They are wasting money on new digital parking meters at $8,000 apiece. But the city is trying to bring revenue to help. They bought the smallest Garby for us to use and if you don't have enough room in it, you must put out a trash bag with a city sticker on it. Extra revenue!

I hope the people of Cedar Rapids can save the city from being bankrupted.
