missing monies, again

The final numbers on the bathrooms appears to be a MERE $414,000. Considering it could have easily been built for 140k, including a FAT 25% profit for the contractor, one would have to wonder WHERE that extra $275,000 went? Like the $400,000 excess we paid to enclose two walls of the Country Club, a LOT of our tax monies are missing- AGAIN. Where did THOSE monies go? Why did we pay Mr Santanas electric bills? Havent we given him enough? When does the tax monies stop disappearing for freebies to private businesses and contractors? EVER? The golf course, in theory, does use well water but is supposed to meter it and pay for it. The Council is supposed to oversee the City Manager, but they dont, and because of that are just as responsible for the cost overruns, freebies, and money wasted as the City Manager. Are they worried? No. They will just raise our taxes and fees to pay for their stupidities. Larry, Moe, and Curly are in control- why are we not worried about that? Other city and county governments are letting people go, cutting their budgets, reducing their costs - we are hiring 100k Dept heads with few qualifications. April cannot come fast enough.
