disappearing act

SOMEBODY is getting rich with the taxpayers dollars. Where all that money is going has yet to be determined but ONE thing is sure- the taxpayers are getting a hosing on a regular basis form ALL the projects he is responsible for. The average homeowner can build new for $125 per square foot. We regularly pay $400-600 a square foot. HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars more than it costs! WHERE is THAT money going? Some of the contractors have denied its going into THEIR pockets, so WHERE is it going, if not into his pockets? These are mine and your hard-earned tax dollars disappearing! He must be a magician because after he makes the money disappear, the responsibility for losing it disappears too! It was the ghosts, I guess. One fiasco after another: the Country Club, the costly bathrooms that are WAY overbudget and deadline, the nonexistent water, sewer, and electric hookups, the incredibly expensive bathroom elevations, pool mismanagement, dozens of revenue errors on the MS webpage,etc. Those are just the most recent City disasters. How many excuses are we going to make for this guy? He doesnt seem to have any learning curve in place, as he doesnt seem to be getting any better. If anything, its worse. Maybe hes just in over his head, in which case he should have the grace to acknowledge his limitations and just resign. We cant afford any more disasters.
