What was the city council’s leading excuse as to why we couldn’t have a Snowgate election this past Spring? They claimed if snowgates were approved they would have to implement them by November of this year, certain councilors said that wasn’t possible because they didn’t appropriate money, not only for a joint election with the school board but they didn’t have ANY money to buy and use snowgates. Yeah, right, but somehow magically they found an extra $7 million for the streets (DOC: appropriation);
Streets General Fund $7,288,000
The most amazing part is how they can lie straight face during a recorded public meeting. Nothing to see here, move along. It was a politically motivated move all along by councilor Erpenbach, and when you run out of truthful excuses (in which they didn’t have any) you lie.
