let them eat cake

The Council has decided to allow the residents three more garage sales per year. Big deal, when people are struggling to put food on the table, make their mortgage payments, and gas up their car! Do they seriously think that 3 extra yard sales will make up for the MILLIONS in additional debt City officials have burdened the residents with? Not to mention the increased taxes that are coming next year to pay for their legacies on the weary and hurting backs of the residents! The City Manager acknowledges that residents are having a hard time paying their light bills, putting food on the table, and filling up their cars so they can go to work. Instead of some tax relief we get 3 more garage sales? Incredible! Let them eat cake! Incredibly and totally insensitive and out of touch with the lives of the average residents. No clue, or apparent awareness that we are in a recession and people are losing their jobs and their homes,and little concern.
