I find it curious that city officials are in such a rush to borrow money -- for a new high school, for new sewers -- just months after they were all screaming that the sky was falling.

The Bayside sewers are long overdue, and I'm not arguing otherwise. It's just that every time I see "bonding" as an option, it means that today's officials are borrowing against a future where they will not have to answer for the costs.

And lest anyone forget, some of them are the same officials who have been in office for years allowing these situations to get as bad as they are.
