costs are important

The progress is in the fact that they ACTUALLY admitted that revenues are down and that they MAY have to take some action, some day, in some way. Up til now costs have been "irrelevent" and "immaterial". Now, finally, they have admitted that maybe costs ARE IMPORTANT! Costs are surely important to all the taxpaying residents! NOW they may even be important to the Mayor and the Council! Of course they may just decide that costs REALLY arent important!... and just raise our taxes and fees to make up any differences!

Is the Optimist guy going to run on a platform of ANY issues? Or is he just going to go with the issues and dialog that Billy and Garcia give him? IE We somehow, NEED this expensive gym so that the contractors can buy a new car! Price is NO object! Its immaterial! IRRELEVANT! We will pay whatever the contractor wants - 300%, 400% or more in profits, no problem! DOZENS of change orders almost guaranteed because we have NO CLUE about planning ahead of time! We couldn't even figure out that bathrooms might need water, sewer, and electric hookups! The forgotten possibilities and change orders on the new gym are ENDLESS! Parking and height problems? NO PROBLEM, as we will just give our self variances that wouldn't even be seriously considered for the average residents! Its not a problem (for us) because when our funds get low, we will just raise the residents taxes and fees! NO real PROBLEM! The residents MIGHT get cranky when we hose them repeatedly, but they are manageable if we just continue to dazzle them with BS! Simple. All Mr Lob has to do is recite the script!
