I previously wrote about the preliminary scheduling the city is planning relative to the bonds we just approved. What committee? We didn’t promise to listen! focused primarily on the absence of the citizen (until they changed committee eligibility rules after the election) Bond Overview Advisory Committee.
There is a lot more to be upset about. The document proposes how the city will spend the money in the first (next) three years of administering the funds.
No money will be spent for the new Children’s Museum. Not a cent toward even planning one!
No money will be spent to replace the Chelsea pool that the city had to close last year.
Maybe the term “Quality of Life” does actually refer to the city staff and not to the public.
What they are spending money on by the bucket full is projects that are to be located downtown (adjunctive to the ball park) and legions of consultants.
We are being told that “shovel ready” projects are being given priority. For once we are being told the truth.
We all know what they are shoveling.
We deserve better
