Slagel: "There is the issue of being able to do the things we need to do and there's not a way without a significant tax base growth and sales tax growth to be able to do the things we want to do without a tax increase... It really poses a significant issue for us."
Mr. Mayor, the significant issue here is the conflation of the concepts "need" and "want". There is a subset of voters are that NOT interested in porky, politically-expedient debt-spending when the economic shizznit has hit our collective and individual fans.
Seriously, sir. Have the courage to lead the city council with fiscal conservatism and responsibility in this difficult time. This is not a game, and we ain't playin'.

Hell to the yeah.
Anonymous, is that a positive or negative comment about what bloggermouse wrote? I don't have no idea
I believe the key is in exactly what Mr Slagel said. "To be able to do the things WE want to do". Somehow he forgot about those that elected him to support and protect the citizens "want" and "need" with fiscal responsibility. As a citizen, I want AND need Mr Slagel to re-assess his purpose as council member/mayor and public servant or pick up his toys and go home. It is unfortunate he resinded that 2 years ago.
Dear Anonymous @ 10:11. "Hell to the yeah" is an excited affirmative utterance, akin to "Hip, Hip, Horray!" only cooler. The commenter was showing support for bloggermouse.

Fo Shizzle.
Thanks anon @ 4:44. Quite obviously I am an "ole phart" who is not up on the new terms. I am not even going to ask what "Fo Shizzle" means. :)

Is there a problem with using language as it is, without trying to "improve" or "hip" it? The idea of communication, as I always understood it, was to be understood when one said or wrote something.
