LONGNECKS AND SHORTCHANGE

That cool breeze you've been feeling on your  backside may have just been the MAYOR blowing smoke up your #$%. She has told LSC members that thet aregoingto have to trim around FIVE million fromthe budget they were presented down to 126 Million. All the time they were being told to see their cuts as an almost TEN PERCENT increase. Don't you love how smart people do math?

I go to the STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS and she appeared to somewhat reluctantly broach the subject again when some holigan in the audience asked a question about it. Once again she said the people she talked towho sounded to meworked FOR the city were condident this 126 number was going to fly.

So I checked the DESE website just now and guess whatnumber I saw the required amount is 181 MILLION.

I DON'T KNOW WHO SHE IS TALKING TO BUT I WANT SOME OF WHAT SHE'S BEEN DRINKING!
