resident relief?

I guess it IS possible to say that the 600k+ in cost overruns for municipal construction projects the past 3 years is an economic stimulus plan for needy contractors. It may also be possible to view a sweetheart contract for Mr. Santana, free rent, taxes, and utilities as a welfare plan for wealthy business owners. It may even be possible to consider free pool services for multiple pool patrons as a break for some private businesses, even as the pool loses 300k this year. But what about the TAXPAYERS who are paying for all of these freebies? Where is OUR relief? We are in a recession, losing our jobs and some of our homes, and struggling to pay our bills with garage sales while the special interests laugh all the way to the bank! At OUR expense, literally and figuratively.
