ProducerBadBob: Welcome Pat
Pat: What do you think are ways you would improve downtown?
SYSTEM: Please welcome VoteNoMeasureD who just joined the chat.
VoteNoMeasureD: measure D will INCREASE our tax payer debt obligation....it will take up more of the general budget as measure D by itself will not pay for all the things that have been promised...it will take more of our general budget
VoteNoMeasureD: our annual budget will in the next few years pay for the staff and their benefits(pensions) and NOTHING ELSE
VoteNoMeasureD: measure D we need to see a FISCAL IMPACT report... that shows the cost of hiring these people..on debt obligation....and the county should be helping with this...not just one city
VoteNoMeasureD: IT WAS CUT because we couldn't afford it !!! come on Adam...you are smarter than this
SYSTEM: Please welcome WeedOutCityHall who just joined the chat.
WeedOutCityHall: Our problem is Big government.
WeedOutCityHall: What will Adam do about our unfunded pensions problem?
VoteNoMeasureD: we need to get rid of some of the managers and begin the process of cutting higher paid positions and the people that are placing cost pressure on our budget....Starman and Neimer should go before we even start talking about the rest...
VoteNoMeasureD: one asst city manager is enough... their city structure is BLOATED !!...we need business people to be an advisory council to the budget...
WeedOutCityHall: Amen to that
WeedOutCityHall: These city workers make so much that they think we all have cash to burn.
WeedOutCityHall: As if city council should dictate the future.
ProducerBadBob: In a Representative Form Of Government. Council Members are elected by the People to carry out their wishes. If they fail in that task then they are voted out and replaced with someone else. So it's not a "Pure Democracy" which is another word for chaos because there is rarely a community consens
ProducerBadBob: *consensus. But the Council needs to be more attentive and accountable and not get elected and then do what they please.
WeedOutCityHall: I think we have many voters that just look at signs. they vote without studying.
ProducerBadBob: signs work in reverse for me....the more I see, the less likely I am to check the name,
WeedOutCityHall: Adam's signs don't seem to be noticable
ProducerBadBob: With the caveat that if I talk to the person and I like "the cut of their jib" they earn my vote. I'm in an advantaged position...that having been said I live outside the CoR limit.
WeedOutCityHall: Same with me Bob, unless I like the candidate
SYSTEM: Please welcome Sungold who just joined the chat.
WeedOutCityHall: What regulations would Adam tackle and wirrle fdown?
WeedOutCityHall: widdle
WeedOutCityHall: sorry.bad fingers
Sungold: Me too Bob, I really dislike all the signs, then they are left up for too long after the elections are over
Sungold: That is because he is not everywhere
WeedOutCityHall: Schrader signs were everywhere... seemed to work for her.
Sungold: Lots of solar has gong in this year in our neighborhood
Sungold: gone
WeedOutCityHall: I would only hope that we would be lucky enough to vote in Gary and Adam
WeedOutCityHall: Then we need to hire a witch to make a potion to straighten out Weaver
WeedOutCityHall: the othe two are lost causes
