Subject:Really, 5% raises for the two highest paid employees?
Can you all please put fiscal responsibility at the top of the list?
Take care of things that need taking care of…
• Not on unnecessary raises, especially when so many are suffering. They should be ashamed.
• Not bike lanes to nowhere, when the bulk of tax-paying citizens use cars.
• Not on road restructuring that makes no sense. (Johnson/Laurel/Augusta and now Dalidio). I’m sure there are more.
• Not on art on the ground that will be covered in dirt and tire tracks in no time, and may even cause accidents when
someone sees a person’s shape out of the corner of their eye then swerves to miss them causing an accident.
• Not on a high-budget, over-designed homeless shelter that isn’t big enough to serve the needs of the population…
could have been a lot simpler to serve a lot more.
• Not on all new street signs that no one can read and that fade within a couple of years.
• Not on big signs that say “We’re all in this together.” Because it’s clear that we’re not.
• … and the list goes on.
Please consider the masses who live here and don’t make over $200k a year. Who did NOT vote for the 1% tax raise.
Whose property taxes go up like clockwork, even though our incomes do not.
I’m fed up… just like a lot of other people.
