And they won't open up the city pools and cut back on the upkeep of city parks in the summer.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05966847290906915571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-27062643721556917852008-03-05T11:24:00.000-05:002008-03-05T11:24:00.000-05:00Maggie, I agree with hooda, but will add this.

Now that the income tax is out of the way, the city council is free to work its will upon the trash fee without us pesky voters getting in the way - so much for that.<BR/><BR/>Add, or actually subtract a few police and fire fighters through the attrition of retirement, then promis police and fire classes that never happen, and slowly but surely the numbers will begin to gel. <BR/><BR/>Let's not be surprised by no real changes to the contracts coming up for renegotiation in the fall though.
