Title: Is The City Wasting Our Money?
Post by: jay on August 07, 2009, 09:35:47 AM
Last Week
About five city mowing tractors traveled through the neighborhood cutting vacant lots.

This Week
A private contractor, hired by the city, was cutting some of the same lots.

     First, are you sure that they were the same lots?  Next, someone has to call Sean McKinney @3307428888 and let him know that this has happened.

The city could use the benefit of an independent, outside auditor to go through
their books and "find the pork" (ie: start bean counting and look for waste,
redundant expenditures, etc)

williams made a public campaign promise at all of the debates during the mayoral race 2005 that he would have a forensics audit of ALL city hall's depts. so far he has not lived up to one of many of his campaign promises. >:(
