TIRED OF TAXES? CITY COUNCIL VOTES TO BORROW MILLIONS MORE AGAINST GRIM GOVERNMENT DEBT REPORT

Just got back from the public hearing. The council just approved another $5 million loan against city assets, citing 'unavoidable costs' for a new bike lane mural and consultant fees. Meanwhile, the annual government debt report they tabled shows we owe more per household than ever before. Where is the accountability? Sell the unused lots, cut the overseas 'fact-finding' trips, and balance the books. ‘Common sense’ isn't complicated. It’s just math we aren’t allowed to do.
