I wasn't surprised to learn that the councilmen and councilwomen did not want to cut their discretionary funds.
Sometimes they allocate money to projects that only benefit a select group and not the whole ward.
Got to reward your pet projects......screw the rest of the ward.....
As they say the squeaky wheel gets the oil or the grease. If the rest of the wards feel slighted well tell them get off their Duff's and get proactive.
