> I totally agree, does anyone else think that not having was an audit was a good idea? It certainly paints a picture of those in power having something to hide. It was in such desperation that the FF's help the city save a measley 3 million when those in power haven't accounted for (what was it?) 50 some odd million dollars. Where was it that I heard we should "forget about the past and move on" ? I do think that was at a press conference in the winter, yes definetly "forget about the past and move on" but in the same breath lest not forget the major debt when we turn to the unions to help pay for it. It is great that the city has a future to become a booming business district but in the same breath what a shame it will be for those who serve to protect it will not be able to afford to enjoy it.
