The city buys everything around here because it turns out to be profitable to do so. Biggest income earner in CS is Memorial Hospital without any doubt about it. Don’t let park scenes and dogs pissing on things cloud your mind. We should support our right to approve taxation and to close the loopholes that they use to get their taxes in “fees” instead. I don’t think anyone wants to bring down the city, so when they manage thier way out of the hole that they put themselves into, we’ll give them the money....with all due respect.

Yep.

If they ask for money specifically for Police, fine.
If they ask for money specifically for Firemen, fine.
If they ask for money specifically for Parks... maybe.

But when they ask for money for their “General Fund”; and do so via the extortive threat of “We’ll cut safety and parks” - NO SALE!

Especially when much of the city’s present predicament can be traced to its addiction to fees associated with uncontrolled growth; the height of which was during the Sub-Prime expansion.

CHAAAAAAARGE IT! HOUSING NEEEEEVER GOES DOWWWWWN!

Sound familiar?

Now they want those of us who worked hard, saved, and were smart enough not to be in debt... to fork over our milk and apples?

Nope, not gonna do it. Wouldn’t be prudent at this juncture.

NO MORE PLASTIC FOR YOU, city council! ;’p
