waiting with bated breath to read the details of the Mayors Budget. If you
were one of us who were expecting to read the budget, you would be sorely
disappointed because it is not available. The Finance Staff say they don't
have a date when it will be available despite the charter being very
specific about the Mayor needing to present a budget by August 15th.
This is very chilling on debate about what our city should be because the
budget is the blueprint of what our city will be. And right now, we have
no idea beyond the tiny sketch that was in the Mayors speech. It is a
blatant power grab on the Mayors part to propose a budget increase but not
detail what it means.
The other frustrating thing is that I have made over a dozen calls to the
Mayors Office since the budget was released and still no call back.
Citizens deserve a call back from their elected officials.
If someone has experience with filing a Writ of Mandamus, please contact me
privately.
Thanks
