By GLENN MICHELEverybody agrees with one thing or another on the new County Rec Bill. Lots of us think the golf course water infrastructure for example is in desperate straits and should be funded. I think more tennis courts is nuts, and an indoor year round ice skating rink is over the top – but that’s just me. Maybe we ought to offer an a La Carte ballot and just fund some of this.
But we are not offering a la carte, so we are all looking at one ballot and saying “Is there something in this menu that makes me willing to vote FOR the twenty million dollar bond?” Golly there is a lot of pork attached to what ever you might think is essential here. I just don’t want to give the county more money, instead I want the county to stop hemorrhaging money. This county has fabulous trucks and equipment already, one employee for ever twenty five residents, and six levels of management. Wallmart nation wide has eight!
It looks to me as if we have attempted to solve lots of problems by throwing money at the county, why my property taxes just went up. People I love your optimism thinking more money will get it, but maybe it’s really just desperation. Are you thinking what else can we do? People, we do not HAVE twenty million more to throw at the county, and it’s just getting more bloated anyway.
Always vote against more money. The niggling, marginally rational erosions of your spending money, like the Santa Fe soda tax, and this enormous Rec Bill are eating into the money you could be spending yourself on riotous living.
Just my two cents.
