I Southdacola foot soldier sent me this photo. I do have to commute to this area of town (36th and Sycamore) and have seen the signs. I guess I didn’t think much of it, maybe it is a conservation area? I am having a city councilor look into it, because this person also sent the picture to the council. This person has lived near this detention pond for over 30 years and told me the sign was put up recently after the city stopped mowing the area. They told me that when the city mowed it, kids would play soccer over there and fly kites or walk dogs. I guess they told me ‘it was being used.’ My assumption is it was added to the infamous ‘no mow list’ to save money. I have been talking to minions in multiple departments with the city and they said their budgets are being cut even before July. Want to save the city money? Less lawn cuttings won’t even move the needle. You need to cut out ALL non-profit handouts and layoff all middle managers with the city. You would save us millions. You also need to stop hiring consultants to do the job city employees are supposed to do, this would also save us millions. The lack of vision is so awful at city hall they need to put an image of the 3 blind mice on the front door.

  1. Agree with Scott here, cut off all Non-Profits. It is why I want to get on the ballot for Central District. I want to force the topic into debate for creating a public office under the City Council called “Government Financial Transparency”. To go through and study, review, audit, investigate, all public departments, offices, agencies, non-profits with the goal to cut government spending, cut payroll, and get rid of any public officer, agent, employee not needed. This public office would be operated by 2 maybe 3 appointed persons from outside the city government, under the direction of the City Council, and would be unpaid except for expenses incurred in their job.
