ReplyDeleteWhen they spend a billion up there on Sly's new terminal or on an unnecessary renovation, Sly won't be able to borrow 10 million any more from his rich uncle Mark. Uncle Mark will be tapped out paying back his own loans he can't afford.
I believe a fact check will show this debt has not been paid back. Repealing the earnings tax will go a long way toward stopping this stupid spending. When the slush fund dries up, city hall will have to be more frugile with taxpayers money!

ReplyDeleteWasn't Mark interviewing for a job in Calif.?
ReplyDeleteDon't fret people we'll balance it all out wen the E Tax passes. Airplanes are a vital service too.
ReplyDeleteTroy has been stealing, i mean transferring money out of the airport to balance the budget for years.
ReplyDelete"What makes the Mayor's stubborn memory lapse most worrying is that the loan was made to cover losses the city incurred in bad tax increment financing deals for things such as the Power & Light District.
ReplyDeleteWhat hope can we have for good public policy when mistakes are papered over with denied consequences?"
