After watching last evening's meeting on the budget, I found that the city manager made a couple of good points.(kidding)Selling assets; she mentioned the golf course and airport but failed to mention any of the buildings she bought downtown, hoping that someday, they may be used. She also mentioned elimination of some city departments; why not start with her position? She hires consultatnts to do the desision making for her while she makes a cool $145,000 (including car allowance). Seems like waste to me. Besides, how much better off are we since she took over? Clean out the east end of the 2nd floor! JMO

According to the 6'Oclock news the other night the city is about to become insolvent if they don't come up with a plan. So far the only plan they have had was where to go on vacation. I'm sure the new flea market,oh I'm sorry,art center will revive the community and bring in much needed revenue. While we wait on Cincinnati State which is very much like waiting on the train that too will pull butt's out of the fire no doubt. And while we are waiting for all these great things to happen they'll have so many levies on the ballot it will take half a day just to vote. ------------- No more democrats no more republicans,vote Constitution Party !! |

If they want levies, IMO they will be sorely disappointed!!! |
