Bonfanti's budget passed with only 2 people bucking the dictator, Sinewitz and Mello. Not sure about you, but I have been reading along in the Salem News and see that the DPS has just recently added 9 new vehicles to it's fleet. That is 9 more than the 4 that they added 2 months ago!! AND we just purchased a new fire engine pumper. In my book that is just a big "FUNGOOL" to the children and the homeowners in the city. Projected tax increase is at $148. right now, that is @ $360. in real life.
Fitzgerald's comment in regards to the mayor's budget is nothing short of moronic! This guy has absolutely no freakin' clue what this city needs. Bonfanti has sent this city to hell in a hand basket and if Fitzy thinks backing Bonfanti's madness is the right approach, you'd better start looking for a job on craigslist.
Bettencourt isn't much better!! Why wouldn't you vote against a budget that strong arms the schools, raises taxes, and buys new toys for the crew on the DPS? Do you have family driving one of those new rigs? SSSSHHH!
Mello was clearly thinking about nothing other than a BIG MAC MEAL DEAL and once again voted against the budget with little explanation, extra special sauce please.
Sinewitz brought up a great point, in reference to the golf course. Why not charge higher fees and offer membership fees to try and bring in more revenue. He also questioned the proposed tax hike of $148.00.
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO CLEANING UP THAT SWAP ALSO KNOWN AS CRYSTAL LAKE?
