"Good Bang For Their Buck"

That's outgoing City Commissioner Bill Beecher's take on the financial picture of the city.

In today's paper, his opinion concerning the "facts" was printed. (See below). As always, the city is in "good" financial shape, because the audits are always clean and the budget department always gets an annual award for their ability to prepare the budget according to the rules.

As my tax accountant told me, it is strictly a fluke to find evidence of wrongdoing in a normal, run of the mill audit.

By the way, according to Beecher, taxes have only gone up 3% annually in the past five years.

UPDATE: Do you think Beecher and his cronies could even begin to give coherent answers to the pop quiz? Me either.

Go ahead and argue. You are a loser and it's all sour grapes.

Anon 9:38 - huh? Sandra prints a copy of what is in the Tribune and you have the gall to call her a loser? I believe anyone who places their name on a ballot deserves our respect! I did not vote for John Rosenbaum in the primary, but would never call him a loser as I do respect him as a person and as a candidate even though I have already voted for Burow, Zook and (yes) Bronson.

The tea baggers are entitled to their own opinions - they are not entitled to their own facts.

"tea baggers," is this what you would have called those active during the American Revolution?

I can only assume you are a welfare baby sucking on the public mammary gland to think you are so smart with you code words.

Good luck Commissioner Beecher in your retirement and I thank you for your public service dedications. I do not agree with the direction you have recently helped to guide our city towards, but commend you for doing what you felt was right......
