Revisiting the city's financial problems

At the finance work session, City Council members expressed frustration with the city manager. They wanted more details on the trust fund and potential salary cuts and/or staff reductions.

Members of council revisited this topic again late this week. They said they hope to get more answers soon.

Meanwhile, Harry Walker said he was satisfied with the way the finance meeting turned out. He said he will be presenting more clarity on financial issues at Monday's City Council meeting.

There is a lot of talk about a volunteer fire company. How about making many of the other jobs in the city volunteer? I would volunteer a day a week at city hall if I knew it would help.

There are ways to volunteer that would help. The Guardian Angels are looking for volunteers to do safety patrols. This would help a lot. By having a safety patrol, it is a visual deterrant to crime, meaning that if they think someone is watching, the criminals won't be as likely to start a fight, sell their drugs, rob someone, ect. No one is willing to make a stand against crime. Sure, they wanna talk, but when it comes to action...well...
