Message:: [QUOTE="Mike2633, post: 10346459, member: 117804"]People who like our out sourced service act like we’re saving money, but I keep asking how much is being saved and what has the city done with the savings that have been realized? Funny I never get an answer to those two questions. I can tell you this though our roads, streets, storm sewers and taxes certainly haven’t seen a lowering or any improvement at all due to these “savings”. What’s funny is people were so appalled at the thought of paying maybe an extra $48.00 a year for garbage, but they will literally trip over them selves running as fast as they can to the voting booths to vote up any and all school levies that comes through which do nothing but raise my monthly mortgage payments by $200.00 a month. Our garbage budget isn’t even a million dollars a year. Our schools budget is 35million a year, the city’s population is 16,000 people the entire city out side of the schools runs on 4 million a year, yet the schools need $35million a year? Something seems out of wack here.[/QUOTE]
