To be fair, there were projects I would have considered funding on a bond if they were line items and not bundled with other non-essential stuff. If I were the the director of the Dog Pound or Library I would pressure The Powers That Be to put my projects on seperate lines next time around.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch: pro-bond folks are probably not amused that the DMN published an article about Keffler's sick/vacation pay bonanza today. There's no straight line to be drawn between Keffler's benefit package and the bond, but seeing non-trivial amounts of citizen treasure spent that way might irritate some residents who were otherwise on the fence about the bond.

This is really troubling. I know this is just a bond election and it won't change what we have, but we need more transparency in City Hall.
There appears to be no end to the tricks and traps the kids down town have in their play book. It's no surprise to those of us who have been harping about the gluttony going on on our nickel. It's no wonder the roads, street lamps and water lines are in such poor shape with these party hounds running the show. They've managed to run quite a few otherwise interested entrepreneurs out of town with their nanny mentality. They seem to mind every body else's business better than they do their own. Pitiful, just pitiful.
