education is a wonderful thing

Are the ones who dont show up HERE, on an anonymous blog, with numbers and facts to support their position also cowards? The only one that is KNOWN to have told a lie so far is the City Manager, with his Optimist fairy tale. The revenue numbers make NO SENSE, but may just be incompetence and general cluelessness on the part of city officials, giving them the benefit of the doubt. That is not necessarily a good thing to have in your city officials, but it beats having liars and thieves there! Right? What are the chances we have ALL OF THE ABOVE in City Hall? With NO Council oversight, save Dotson. Its a sad situation- and expensive! sad and expensive for the taxpayers! NOT to the City Managers, or the Council! THEIR checks roll in steadily, and in full. Where are all those people who spoke FOR the pool being open year-round at a cost of 200k HERE? They could present their own facts and figures HERE for discussion! NONE show up with credible or rational responses. This forum requires NO time off work, travel time, parking, babysitters- NOTHING! And STILL they dont show up here, the easiest forum for anybody to access! Are THEY all cowards too? Perhaps they are just not fully informed on ALL the issues? If so, this is a good place to become educated, as there are several people in the community who have considerable knowledge and experience at the pool and are familiar with its workings, and others who are open-minded and willing to learn.

local oversight missing

There is a hedge fund manager who made a return of 600% for his well-to-do clients last year and took home 3.62 BILLION hinself. He placed bets against our economy with credit swaps. Credit swaps are side bets that were placed at pennies on the dollar. No regulation is what caused this disaster. We dont even know how much worse it could get because of the lack of transparency, mainly with the hedge funds. On a local level, the lack of supervision and oversight by The Council and City Manager in the past has cost the residents close to million dollars SO FAR. If the current mismanagement team keeps the pace it has in the past, millions will disappear and eventually lead us into bankruptcy. Wonder how many are taking side bets about Miami Springs becoming bankrupt?
