WOW....1.17 MILL POSITIVE BALANCE!!!!!!!NOT TOO SHABBY!
KINDA' LIKE ANY LANDING YA' WALK AWAY FROM IS A GOODN'.I DON'T CARE IF IT'S A NICKEL!YA GOT A BALANCED BUDGET.
HOW MANY OF US CAN SAY THE SAME ABOUT OUR PERSONAL FINANCES? AND MAYBE THE CITY LEADERS SHOULD GET TO KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO HAVE REAL BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS,CONCERNS,AND EXPERIANCE THE EMOTIONAL TRAUMA OF DEALING WITH SHORTFALLS,SERIOUS NEEDS,BUDGETARY NIGHTMARES THAT MOST OF US LIVE WITH EVERY DAY IN OUR PERSONAL AND BUSINESS LIVES.
AND READING THE RESPONSES TO JEFF PIORKOWSKI'S ARTICLE;VERY GOOD ,BY THE WAY, YOU CAN SEE(READ) THE FRUSTRATION,ANGER,DIVISIVNESS GROWING LIKE A CANCER WITHIN US!
JUST LIKE AT HOME,WHEN YOU KNOW THINGS ARE OUT OF CONTROL,WHEN YOU FEEL YOU'RE LOSING CONTROL,BE IT MONEY,KIDS,WORK,EMOTIONAL ISSUES WITH YOUR MATE.THE ANGER BUILDS,DISTRUST,ACCUSATIONS FLY,BLAME EVERYTHING ON THE SHORTCOMINGS OF OTHERS.THINGS ARE SAID,,,,,THEN REGRETTED.LOOK AT THE RESPONSES.AND WE ALL KNOW THAT ABSOLUTELY NEVER EVER DO THESE 'KNEE JERK' REACTIONS GET GOOD RESULTS.
WHEN WE JUSTIFY OUR BEHAVIOR AND
CONCERNS BY ACCUSING OTHERS OF BEING LESS SO,OR DEMAND THAT OPINIONS ARE UNJUSTIFIED UNLESS YOU CAN PROPOSE A SOLUTION......C'MON,,,,WHAT IS THAT????
CLEV. MAYOR JACKSON SAID IT BEST,"IT'S NOT THAT WE DON'T KNOW WE HAVE A PROBLEM.WE'VE KNOWN IT FOR YEARS.THE PROBLEM IS WE JUST HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT."
CRAZY,HUH?
BUT LOOK AT US.WE FIGHT AND ARGUE WHILE ALL AROUND US THE 'EVIL' THAT WE ALL CLAIM IS OUR ENEMY CONTINUES TO GROW AND CONSUME EVERYTHING IN IT'S PATH.IT CONSUMES US.THROUGH FEAR,HATRED,FALSE ACCUSATIONS,BLINDS US TO THE TRUTH.
AND SADLY,WITHOUT LEADERSHIP,WITHOUT FAITH IN THAT LEADERSHIP,SOMEONE TO UNITE US ALL.A LEADER THAT EMBODIES THE STRENGTH,UNDERSTANDING,COMPASSION,
AND BELIEF THAT WITH THE PEOPLES SUPPORT,WILLINGNESS TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR ALL,WITHOUT SELFISHNESS,,,,MOUNTAINS CAN BE MOVED.
HOLY CRAP,,,,I'M NOT TALKING JESUS CHRIST HERE!
I'M TALKING JUST A GOOD,STRONG LEADER.
A MAN.A WOMAN.
JOAN OF ARC,MOTHER THERESA,MY MOM,,JOHN WAYNE,ROY ROGERS,BATMAN,SUPERMAN,GEN. McARTHER,GEN. PATTON,MY PERSONAL FAVORITE CHUCK YEAGER,MY DAD,,,,,
MY OLDER BROTHER WHO SERVED 3 TOURS IN 'NAM,,,(DAMN,AM I PROUD OF HIM,,,)C'MON,,,,,,IS IT EXPECTING TOOOO MUCH THAT A GOD'S HONEST PERSON MIGHT FIND THE COURAGE TO RUN FOR OFFICE?
DID I MENTION THEY NEED TOTAL LACK OF FEAR???? CAUSE WE SURE LIKE TO TEAR ANYONE TO PIECES WHO RUNS FOR OFFICE.AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE END UP WITH PSYCHOPATHIC LIARS AND THIEVES THAT CAN DENY,DENY,AND DENY SOMEMORE,AND INTIMIDATE ANYONE WHO QUESTIONS THEM,JUST LIKE THE PLAYGROUND BULLY??????LIKE THE DIMORRAS AND RUSSOS,MOBSTERS,LIARS,CHEATS,BULLYS,,,,ETC.....
WE ARE CONSUMING OURSELVES AS ROME BURNS,,,,,,ER,SUMPIN' LIKE DAT....YA KNOW,,,,WE'RE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT,GOING DOWN SHI* RIVER,,,,,WE BETTER ALL START PULLIN' IN THE SAME DIRECTION IF WE WANT TO SURVIVE! THAT'S ALL I'LL SAY,,,,,OR JUMP OUT AND SWIM TO SHORE AND GO ANOTHER WAY.....
WHAT SAY YA ALL???
YEP.
NOW DON'T EVEN TELL ME YA' DIDN'T THINK THE DAY WOULD COME.
ALONG WITH THE TURNPIKE,THE PRISONS,THE TRAFFIC LIGHT CAMERAS.
THE 'PRIVATIZATION' OF ALL SORTS OF SERVICES WE HAVE ALWAYS GOTTEN FREE,WELL,PAID FOR WITH OUR TAXES.
NOW,,,BECAUSE OF ALL THE REASONS WE ALL KNOW ABOUT,OUR EXPENSES ARE HIGHER THAN THE TAXES WE PAY.
VERY SIMPLE.NO NEED TO BLAME ANYTHING OR ANYONE.EXPENSES HIGHER THAN REVENUE!
WE NEED TO FIX IT.
THE PROBLEM IS CRYSTAL CLEAR,,,THE SOLUTIONS,THE REMEDIES,,,,AHHHHH,,,
THEY ARE INFINITE!
ABSOLUTELY THERIN LAYS OUR PROBLEM.THERIN LAYS THE NEED FOR THE STRONG,HONEST LEADERSHIP I HAVE MENTIONED.THE PERSON WE CAN ALL RESPECT TO MAKE THE HARD DECISIONS THAT WETHER OR NOT WE AGREE WITH WE ALL AGREE THAT THE DECISION WAS WEIGHED AND MADE FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL.BECAUSE OF THE TRUST WE HAVE IN THIS LEADER.
TRUST.
ALMOST A LOST QUALITY IT SEEMS.
OR SO THE MEDIA WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE.
SORRY,BUT IT'S ALIVE AND STRONG.
IT'S ALL AROUND US.IT'S US!
IT'S AS SIMPLE AS PICKING SOMETHING UP FOR SOMEONE.OR AS DANGEROUS AS WATCHING YER YER COMRADES BACK IN AFGHANISTAN.
TRUST TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
SURE,A LOT OF SCUMBAGS HAVE LET US DOWN.TOO MANY,AND NO NEED TO MENTION OVER AND OVER.
GET RID OF THEM.
IF WE GOTTA PAY FOR TRASH PICKUP,SO BE IT.IT IS ONE SOLUTION.
GIVE AND TAKE.YIN AND YANG.GOOD OR BAD.
GOTTA MAKE SOME HARD CHOICES.....
YEAH,,,NOT OUR FAULT,,,,BUT IT IS OUR PROBLEM NOW ISN'T IT?
Again, we are being forced to pay for the sins of this administration and council who made poor decisions.
It's not so much a revenue problem as it is a spending problem.
What creative thinkers at South Euclid City Hall. They want to tax us more for garabage pick up but couldn't think about a much smaller temporary tax to save Oakwood Country Club for future generations to enjoy. These hacks have got to go.
