Looking the gift horse in the mouth? $30 to $40 million will be charged to the tax payer if you vote no. Lets Vote says "2000 homes not selling + 2000 more = lower home values". Is that not the definition of affordable housing?
carlyle Why were you and the others, that believe Jane should have been fired, not at the meeting last night? I was there and was the only person that spoke to the accountability for the mistake that was made. My continued concern is that Jane, and the others responsible for the mistake, are not suffering any consequences for their actions. As I understand it, they are still illeagly $34,000 over budget. Is Jane volunteering to cover that or does she expect her underlings to suck that up also? Mind numming to think of employees taking a pay cut because their boss dropped the ball.
addlip2U "Thank you "Let's vote", you have done a great job! :)" Yeah, Thanks for adding to the cost. Thanks for subsidising the local press. Thanks for undermining the experts and/or voluntieers. Thanks for not explaining the consequenses of signing the petition. Thanks for useing partial facts and induindo. Thanks for trashing 15 years of effort......
Let's go back to this whole public vote thing. First, how many of the City residents are registered to vote? I know that every election it sickens me to see the stats on the low percentages of registered voters that vote, let alone the low number that are registered in the first place. So your vote is garbage from the go even without the non-input of the others it will effect. Second, how is that very small percentage of the population of the City going to gather information on this oh so important issue? If they see a sign on the side of the road as they go to vote: (I know it would be by mail)
NO More Traffic NO More Infrastructure Cost NO 700
Or
More Houses = Lower Prices YES on 700
Or
Save and Elk, Shoot a Developer NO on 700
Ect::.
How are they going to vote?
You may think I'm joking, but many voters will and have voted based on the last piece of information they have seen or heard.
We have paid many people and others have volunteered hundreds of hours to make this the best plan it can be. Steamboat is going to grow, why let a few under and/or miss informed voters undo this effort to have some control over it.
nxoby36 Let me be the first cyclist to agree with you on the license us up and make us responisble. Unfortunatly it will not make us safer, as the new law is trying to do. inmyopinion Do you say "uggghh" when you have to change lanes to pass a tractor going 15 mph down Lincoln? All I invite you to reread RCR's post. How many of you notice the hundreds of riders that you pass every day that are riding single file and obeying the laws?
Duke, So are we to believe that you think there is a possibility that any of the non-paying parents are Republicans? Or, that because you have a better spell checker, that your mentality can not be questioned and you have more right to an opinion? If you can get past my spelling handicap, what do you think the school/community should do the slackers that are not paying their bills?
Duke, Obviously mavis gets it. With a name like Duke_bets, I would think you would be bookie. Always good to attack if you have no point. Matt, When I wrote that I figured some one would have to make the pot joke. Flogging was the other option.
I do feel that the school system needs to grow some stones and quit letting slacker parents take advantage.
Yet another example of how patetic our community/society is. Why weren't the kids kicked out? Why is there not a list of names in the paper? Are the kids going to be allowed to start 1st grade? Is anyone taking bets on wether these parents voted for obamba? It's time to bring back public stoneing. Not that I advocate charging for public schooling, but don't buy it if you can't pay for it.
oldschool, If having an opinion that there are a lot of charges between a $150 slap on the wrist and Neglegent Homiside, that are a lot more fitting the crime, makes me all knowing, I want to move to your planet. JustSomeJoe said it best "We all have to be responsible for our actions". That includes the Police and the DA. cawa, My point is that a "momentary laps of attention" at an intersection is more serious than the the haphazardly handed down penalty would imply. callguinness, "the people who are the true experts on crimes, IE the Police and the DA" My argument is that thay are suppoed to be the "experts" and in this case it is my opinion that thay have dropped the ball. As put to oldschool's comments above, there are a lot of charges in between. The rest of the rant stems aroud this "undercharging" by the "experts" seems to be becoming a trend and we the people should be ouraged. Obviously I am.
