Voice of the People: We Have Voted

We have voted down the TAX but we must now find ways to fix our city. Let us all get together and work for our City. DON'T JUST COMPLAIN, FIND WAYS TO HELP. Let all the kids clubs get together and take care of the PARKS. There are hundreds of kids and their parents that can mow the grass and clean the parks and restrooms. IF THEY GET TOGETHER. DON'T ASK PERMISSION, JUST DO IT. Mowing the lawn is great exercise, better than going to the gym. Some things are funded by other entities, we must find out what these are and how much is the funding. Some free things just cost too much. The rental inspection program is scheduled to cost $103,420.00. Why do we need this program? The finance department has gone from $252,644.00 to $355,550.00. WHY? We the citizens must examine all the costs and benefits. A FREE CITIZEN MUST BE AN INFORMED CITIZEN.
