Street Sense (or lack thereof)


Lance says:

Is this street warfare? Once again our illustrious leaders have stuck their heads in the sand for years, touting our beach trails, skate parks, bike paths, all the while letting our necessary infrastructure crumble around us.

City Streets Report


Let's do a little math:
Bring our streets up to acceptable level (rather than dead last in the county)
$26.5 million dollars

Our refi-mania with the sewer bonds and COP's:
total obligation
$130 million

Un-funded pension liabilities:
$17-20 million dollars

Leaky sewer laterals:
$50 million

Repair sewer treatment plant:
who knows

All in all, pretty impressive display of fiscal irresponsibility and mismanagement, if Lance says so himself.

Thank god we ran a billionaire developer out of town!

Make every person responsible donate an organ. Bill Gates, I'm sure, payed a pretty penny for his. Same with that gangster that was snuck into America to get an organ. We can have an auction. We could make bank! Pay off city debts, buy new infrastructure and have money left over to buy mama a new pair of shoes. I got this idea from Pres Obama's Czar , ya know the guy, can't think of his name at the moment....glasses...long shaggy hair....used to smoke lots of dope...
