Folks,

Aren't the City Council members elected BY THE TAXPAYERS? Don't they represent the needs of THE TAXPAYERS? Don't they speak FOR THE TAXPAYERS? And if you ask Mr. Ladouceur if we always agree it will make him laugh. 'cause we don't! But in this case, he suggests a better idea than the one we have now and as vocal as I am when I disagree with him (and others) I have to be just as vocal when I agree with an idea. I don't believe, as Norm88 writes that this will be "taking away the tax payers right". I believe it will strengthen those rights.

As to Davet1107, you are right about the tax increases but I'm not sure I blame the "cast of characters" as much as you do. The Mayor negotiates too much behind closed doors, claims that "no Mayor has anything to do with" the $160,000,000 school budget and is in my opinion the biggest reason for our fiscal woes.

I support total transparancy. I will involve the "taxpayers" representatives AKA the "City Council" whenever we spend the tasxpayer's money. I believe the Mayor is the biggest problem and I'm running to change that. How about you Pmaloneyjr? Want to be part of the solution? I think Justanidiot is on the right track. I think we need "less government", maybe not "no government" but "less".

Thank you all for your comments. We all need to participate to improve this city.

Stay well.
