even more specifically she has opposed using the money to fund employee insurance benefits on the grounds that that should be a budgetary item!
It should be a budgetary item. Then the true cost of city government could be measured. This administration surely doesn't want Hammond residents to have to pay the actual cost to keep this city afloat, he'd never get re-elected. As I have posted before, if that boat sank tommorrow this city would be screwed, blued and tattooed. That boat funds so many programs it was never intended to fund it an't funny.
so your saying that its not ok to fund budget items through the casinos? than on principle you should be opposed to funding the buses through casinos also. to say otherwise would be hypocritical....that is the point of my post.
im not debating what should or shouldnt be funded with casino dollars. im debating those that think they are in a position to arbitrarily decide...which is apparently the position that poland thinks she is in.
since some here cant understand...or dont want to...ill try to limit my discussion of this issue to the other board.
