[Q]: And Art Chance, the issuing of pink slips is actually what the governor and the liberals want. Suppose the legislature approves a budget and the governor vetoes the entire bill. He will accuse the legislator of shutting down the govt, just like last year. Can the majority see beyond their noses? Suggest the majority come up with a solution on O&G tax credits by upping the minority by $10 million more in cuts. Then vote and let the chips fall where the may. Then cut the budget to get the UGF to no more than $4.5 billion. Let the governor veto that and hold him accountable for issuing pink slips.
[A]: No


[Q]: Take away their dayem cell phones while working for starters. Idiots. Start garnishing wages if they're that oblivious; that'll get their attention.
[A]: Yes


[Q]: Part #2:  ...was more important than funding services.

Then the library "enhancement" levy was pasted, to enhance our already award winning library system.  So, effectively this levy will indirectly fund the city hall.

This brings us to our current situation, which includes earthquake upgrades.  The cost of the upgrades is unknown, and the city councilors are now demanding individual offices.  (It never ends.)

On top of this budget MESS and deception, is the ongoing Urban Renewal District, the one the council promised to "sunset" several years ago.  (BTW - A quarter of a million dollars of the URD is earmarked for a bicycle-share program, the same type of program that is FAILING in Seattle.)  

It seems there must be a toilet within the city government that is in dire need of a thorough flushing.  The new city hall design needs to be agreed upon, settled, and accurately priced.  Then it needs to be funded by a voter approved bond measure, not by depleting the general fund.

No
