The tax money that should be used to pay for routine maintenance and repair of the City and RISD infrastructure has been spent on a broad range of nice, but useless items. Meanwhile, streets, sewers, sidewalks, classrooms, and other capital facilities crumble.

Now, we find we must go into debt to pay for those things that should have been in the daily budget.

2006 brings a $55M bond election for the City and $145M for the RISD.

We will never get to a point where taxes are stabilized if there is no plan for obsolecence.

I thought Bill renamed Albuquerque in his own honor. He's still got dreams of 2008, after all. ;)
