out of touch with everyday reality

The Council apparently has no clue and/or doesnt care about the suffering and personal hardships of the residents. Which Queen was it, when told the people had no bread to eat, responded,"Let them eat cake!"? She was completely out of touch with the hard times of her people and our City officials are just as oblivious and unconcerned as she was. We need tax relief! not tax increases! If we had the over 600k that has been wasted on the CC and bathroom projects we would be in a MUCH better position financially. It has disappeared, tho, and City officials will simply raise our taxes to cover those disasters. Have they NO shame? common sense? financial responsibility? The 200k annual payments to pay for the new gym project HAVE to come from somewhere. If we take it from the sales tax, that money is already allocated for other city expenses, so they will need a source of NEW income, and that will be our increased taxes. We get hosed AGAIN. An already tough economic environment is made almost impossible by their lack of common sense and concern for the people.
