more money magically disappears

The bathrooms are finished, except for a review of the drawings. It will be interesting to see if the final tally is under 500k OR over 500k ! I dont see any water fountains or mop sinks- isnt that required by Dade County code for places that serve food? As expected, the Council raised our tax millage tonight from 6.3 to 6.4 to raise additional revenue for the deficits they caused. So NOW we know why they werent worried about how much they spent because they can always come back to the residents for more, pleading ignorance, stupidity, and/or corruption, any or all of which are probably true. Never at a loss for projects to disappear money with, they are now planning to finish the dugout project and start on concrete sidewalks around Stafford Park. Cant wait to see the numbers on THAT project! By the way, the city of Doral has agreed to pay us 15k for use of our swimming pool for a year. That will just about pay for the gas to heat the pool during the Winter so they will be guaranteed use of the pool year-round. Its a drop in the bucket compared to the 300k we are losing every year but better than nothing, I guess. Somehow a 3.6 million dollar deficit has magically disappeared and they are claiming a balanced budget for next year. Watch Comcast to see the illusions.
