Why don’t they use that money for The Boss Center Expansion instead of increasing our taxes by 3%. I’m sure tax payers couldn’t care less about an expansion downtown since nobody supports the downtown. I support canceling the contract.
I’m talking about the ShotSpotter million dollar contract money. We should cancel that contract. Honestly I’m tired of every decision made in local government and state government increasing our taxes. Feel free to move our money around from department to department instead of raising our taxes. I mean that’s what we have to do in our own budgets every time government increases our taxes. Our city council needs to do a better job financially.
