Hello City Council members,<\/p>\n

Well this is sure interesting. While the mayor and some city staff get wined and dined at establishments like The Selanne Steak Tavern where a steak costs $138 a pop, the same mayor and city staff have already made cuts to services and are planning on making further cuts.<\/p>\n

Hello City Council members,<\/p>\n

Well this is sure interesting. While the mayor and some city staff get wined and dined at establishments like The Selanne Steak Tavern where a steak costs $138 a pop, the same mayor and city staff have already made cuts to services and are planning on making further cuts.<\/p>\n

The city also appears to be asking We The People to rank certain services on a 1-7 scale, essentially asking us which services we can do without. And if you\u2019ve already filled out and sent in this survey, the city can now come back to us citizens when things get worse and tell us that we\u2019ve made our choices.<\/p>\n

Also, your campaign of trying to frighten people into voting for your sales tax increase is as hollow and shallow as that promise you made to put more police on our streets when this city created the Hotel Visitor\u2019s Tax and then twice increased it, with no more police added than we had before.<\/p>\n

In my humble opinion, every service named is essential and they all deserve to be \u201c1\u201d across the board. You were all elected to take action on behalf of the citizens of this city and not to use your elected office to stuff your faces with overpriced food in restaurants that the majority of the citizens in this city cannot afford.<\/p>\n

November 2018 is coming and I don\u2019t usually telegraph my moves, but get ready for a fight.<\/p>\n
