Pompous decision
POSTED: October 20, 2009
The sad irony of the votes by City Council members Fausnaught, Whaley, Hall and Williamson against obtaining a federal grant for more police officers is that these very same council members recently voted against a $4 million retail development on Mulberry Street. That very development would have produced nearly $100,000 per year in annual taxes, more than enough to cover the "shortfall" that prevented these members from accepting the grant.
How pompous it is for the four of them argue about the rising costs of city government while they are the very ones responsible for this loss of revenue.
