More debt

Item 16.1 on the regular city council agenda for May 17, 2016 contemplates the issuance of $100 million of certificates of obligation.

Item 16.2 on the same agenda contemplates the issuance of $200 million of general revenue bonds.

It’s a good thing that they only meet every other week.

I don’t think it makes much difference what the money is supposed to be for.  Based upon what we have seen lately they might just “re-purpose” the money after they have it.

We deserve better

    Consider the backgrounds of the individuals on city council. Do you really want these people making recommendations or decisions regarding hundreds of millions of dollars? We are so screwed.
