“All concession behavior happens at deadlines” Therefore, departments and agencies wait for the fire.

Let’s lay-off all these cops who seem to hang-out at the local Dunkin Donuts. They seem to be doing nothing but wasting tax payers money.

Didn’t the voters just turn down a ballot proposition to raise money for police services? Was this general operating funds or money targeted for a specific use?

Here in AZ, we have the “perfect storm”, budget wise, going on. Years of “don’t tax me, let’s depend on never-ending growth” and now the recession together are going to hurt.

My anger lies in the fact that , no less than 2 months ago , the city manager declared that things were fine. Today we find ourselves at the end of the financial road and still money is being squandered on projects that benefit very few. This is not the time to be playing favorites with tax payer money, although it seems to be “in vogue” to (pay off ) your supporters. In my own opinion, the city manager and his newly hired help, all need to be fired for “dereliction of duty”.
