For once I agree with you.
For once I agree with this cartoon thingy… the tax increase is the worst idea he's come up with and I have supported many of the City Managers ideas in the past. But when you are going to pay thousands of dollars to do a sign study when you are also talking about raising taxes is too much.
I want to know who in City Hall is related to the company that is getting the contract for the "sign study" and how much of a Kickback they are getting. Is it you Mayor? The same person that decided her morality is more important that letting a restaurant open that would provide jobs and taxes. (Tilted Kilt)
When I find out who this person is, I can guarantee you that I will make sure they DO NOT retain their cushy, tax payer paid, over compensated position. And you know what you can do with your 8% tax increase "City Manager".
