debates ?

The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. The Mayor and the Council, with a big assist from the City Manager, have mismanaged and misappropriated EVERY city project for the past 3 1/2 years, at least, to where hundreds of thousands of our tax dollars have disappeared into the pockets of contractors. Does ANYBODY dispute this? They have paid 300%, 400%, and more for cost overruns and constant change orders, over and above the usual and customary costs. Is there ANY debate about that? Is there ANYBODY who would like the specifics again? They are readily available. Is there ANYBODY who disputes that ANY enterprise overpaying on a regular basis 300%, 400% and more will eventually go bankrupt? Is there ANYBODY who wants to make the case that paying those outrageous sums are good business? and viable? If so, let them state their case. Special interests and contractors probably think its good business FOR THEM. Taxpayers get hosed in the process tho, because its THEIR tax monies that are disappearing, and their fees and millage rates that are rising to cover the money that is disappearing into the contractors pockets.
