I hope you're reading through the floor amendments. Pure unnecessary
spending. The only issues we need to spend money on are helping the
homeless,fire, and police. The rest are pet projects, special interest
groups-those items not universally used by the public.Council members
hated the Mayor's budget because it was what we could afford.Florida has
been the hardest hit state during the economic downturn.People will not
be able to pay their property taxes if they are raised this year.That
will add to the building vacancy problem not help our Jacksonville
economy.Facts are facts.We don't take in enough money so we get our
taxes raised.That won't work.Especially since our state opted out of
Medicaid.That means our health care coverage for the poor and seniors
are out of reach.That should be of major concern.It will dramatically
increase the need for food,shelter,and emergency medical care that will
not be paid back.We do not need to create more city jobs.The city
workers we have now are not doing their jobs.Try to get in touch with a
city department,like code enforcement,and see what happens.Try to
contact your district council member on a topic he/she doesn't
personally support and see what happens.I'm sick of hearing that sucking
noise from our City Council, that means more money is being taken from
me. Take a close look at your utility bill and see how many times the
same tax is taken out for our do-nothing city.
