the point is

The point is that times ARE tough. FOLKS are the ones who need to make some adjustments? What about the City? The Council? They are spending like a drunken sailor and its the RESIDENTS who need to make adjustments?? Residents ARE making adjustments and preparing to get hit with higher taxes, fees, etc. to pay for the proposed spending and incredible lack of financial sense by the Council. The dozen or so businesses in town that will benefit from the new gym project will do it at the expense of thousands of MS residents who are struggling to keep working and survive, especially the elderly. THATS the point. In addition, the Mayor and Council are so focused on their personal legacies, agendas, and lining their pockets they obviously dont know or care what the residents want, need, or can afford. Remember this when its time to vote.
