A few items of note for tonight’s meeting:
- Lots of talk about the upcoming budget (but no talk about how it hasn’t been reduced by 25% like “mayor” Zimmer promised…)
- A million bucks for misc. fire & police apparatuses.
- And borrowing $12 million on the credit card to pave Washington St. (which will be riddled with potholes soon thereafter…)
