Municipal Politics

[SarcasticMarmot]

Yes, I feel city council seems to be caretaker mode, maybe because of the upcoming election next year. But, no grand new ideas and higher taxes don't seem like a strong platform for any incumbent to run on IMO.

I'm afraid there also just isn't any money for grand ideas at the moment. And the public doesn't seem to be interested in paying more for grand ideas.

I understand this, but if the public is not interested in paying more for something better, they are even less interested in paying more for the same or even less.

I feel the key to success for our future city council will be how to figure out how to do more with less (and not just by increasing other fees) and get funding elsewhere for other beneficial new things.

I don't think the current bunch is up to this and most people know that.
