That has never happened. The promises made to the tax payers were not kept. How could our city take money that has a scheduled sunset date and place that money into the budget. This is completely fiscally irresponsible. At this time when the governor and the legislature are asking everyone including themselves to tighten their belts, it is time for the city to do the same!! Mr Finley from CCM has been quoted saying that legislators PROMISED to keep the tax and should honor that promise. Well What happened to the promise to sunset the tax made to us tax payers?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-22695826320354657322008-05-08T14:35:00.000-04:002008-05-08T14:35:00.000-04:00Stay tuned for the usual press release from Hamzy ...Stay tuned for the usual press release from Hamzy and Burns explaining all our ills away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-64039472440274757772008-05-08T11:46:00.000-04:002008-05-08T11:46:00.000-04:00How about you republican'ts ?How about you republican'ts ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-6762047623750144102008-05-08T10:51:00.000-04:002008-05-08T10:51:00.000-04:00Since we now have a charter revision going on , ho...Since we now have a charter revision going on , how about doing something similar to Terryville and institute a budget cap of 3% per year .<BR/><BR/> It seems like the hogs will keep stuffing themselves until the public puts a stop to it .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-25385382226629953992008-05-08T07:07:00.000-04:002008-05-08T07:07:00.000-04:00Glen Klocko also said additional money was coming ...Glen Klocko also said additional money was coming from the state.<BR/><BR/>Is it?<BR/><BR/>If not, where does that leave us?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-43488756221605671592008-05-08T06:47:00.000-04:002008-05-08T06:47:00.000-04:00here we go again property taxes are going up this ...here we go again property taxes are going up this year and guess what they will go up again next year. this money has to come from somebody.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-33534438659131394822008-05-07T20:43:00.000-04:002008-05-07T20:43:00.000-04:00Don't blame Art Ward - he has got to rely on someo...Don't blame Art Ward - he has got to rely on someone to tell him what to do and unfortunately he has bad taste in friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-41360836967706137842008-05-07T19:14:00.000-04:002008-05-07T19:14:00.000-04:00Glen Klocko ain't no friend of Art Ward.Glen Klocko ain't no friend of Art Ward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-47566800639591607282008-05-07T18:57:00.000-04:002008-05-07T18:57:00.000-04:00I see a special session coming up!I see a special session coming up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-57108165278545912582008-05-07T18:14:00.000-04:002008-05-07T18:14:00.000-04:00This is really not good for the city.
