chickens come home to roost

All of those Council members who have voted in the past to spend outrageous and unnecessary amounts of money on various city projects will be hard-pressed to explain them to the people over the next couple months. Those who have refused to monitor and supervise the City Manager will find it difficult to explain WHY they didnt take that obligation and elective responsibility seriously. If they have no clue as to what they are supposed to be doing, they should be replaced. If they have an idea, but were just too lazy, they should be replaced. If they know what their elective responsibilities are, but just DONT CARE, they should be replaced. If they know what they should be doing, but dont do it because it interfers with their personal or political agendas, they should be replaced. In these times of recession and instability we can no longer afford to have clueless, lazy, unconcerned, or overtly ambitious representation that ignores the wants and needs of the residents. Raising taxes and fees, borrowing millions in a recession at high interest rates to build a new multi-million dollar gym that the people didnt even get to vote on is but one example of a Council out of control and out of touch with what the people want and can afford. They stopped listening a LONG time ago.
