Re: Line Item City Budget?

Thanks also. The city will always over-budget some departments. It's deliberate. That's where they squirrel away money to keep it unaccountable until they need to fiddle with it.

Re: Line Item City Budget?

The reason you don't see many administration supporters posting here is because every time they do try to pass on the administration's propaganda, they are totally and thoroughly debunked with facts they can't dispute.

The administration is scared to death of this site, both now, and in it's prior incarnation. Why else do you think Dolan banned access to it, a practice that continues to this day?

This is the only place where voters can get even a portion of the truth. They certainly can't get it from city officials, who continue to mislead, obfuscate, and outright lie about all things fiscal. Melrose is a house of cards. The sooner that house of cards collapses, the sooner we can get a mulligan and fix the mess we've allowed to happen.

Re: Line Item City Budget?

Is there any particular reason why you find it necessary to repeat the exact same post in every string, sometime multiple times in the same string?

Re: Line Item City Budget?

Apparently the message board is doing the job it's supposed to be doing. That's the freedom of speech.

Re: Line Item City Budget?

Endlessly repeating the same post over and over again on multiple strings is not only not helpful, it's counterproductive. You're doing the administration's job for them, and it totally wastes space on this site, which is limited.

Re: Line Item City Budget?

I'm mystified by that as well. Makes no sense.
