Does anyone else agree that this city's administration is way out of control with reckless spending? FEMA moneys used for a hydroelectric facility that did not work before the flood. Nothing started on the flood wall for the east side of the river. Come on!
This City Council has already been shot down several times on this ridiculous option sales tax extension, yet it insists on another attempt to ram it down our throats. Yes, these are the same people who are asking to be re-elected.
Just put current funds where they belong and all will be fine. In the meantime, campaign hard because I have a feeling you are all on your way out. Let's get fresh blood and competent money managers to replace our outmoded council personnel and be responsible with our tax money.
