Thanks to those of you who voted in my poll about whether or not the City should subsidize certain entertainment/recreational events. 18 of you said no, 12 of you said yes and 2 were not sure.
I'm a firm believer that necessities, or in the case of the city, core services come first, then if there is money left over, take a responsible look at sponsoring or subsidizing an event.
Unfortunately, the City has been fiscally mismanaged for several years and two of the current commissioners have been part of that mismanagement for quite some time. (Rosenbaum and Beecher have both sat on the Commission for at least 10 years).
In today's Viewpoint in the Tribune, one of those commissioners, Bill Beecher, is quoted as saying, "We just can't continue to provide some of the services we have in the past".
The only reason he said that was because city manager, Greg Doyon, told the commissioners that if they wanted a certain service retained, then another one would have to be cut.
Fiscal responsibility. Gosh, what a concept.
Thank you, Mr. Doyon.

Well of course not. You old guard commissioners blew all our money on the HGS boondoggle.
The 2009 elections are not that far away and then we can really clean our house.......
