OK. So you were able to name 8, yes 8, merchants that live in the "Borough limits'. Last time I checked there are 15,000 people that live in 5,500 +/- homes in this community. I do not count Mary Foote, as the Colonial Theater is a Non-Profit Organization, which has still not shown, The Great Santini, one of my all time favorites.
Council needs to look out for the masses not a select few individuals, (hint, hint 3D Group) that the CDC seems to cater too.
Barry and the CDC have brought in bars and eateries that provide low paying jobs, that is the Truth!
Barry and the CDC are just a plain luxury that the Borough simply just cannot afford, that is the Truth!
When it becomes a budget item and Council will need to make very difficult decisions whether they want bike patrol officers or St. Barry and the CDC, that is the Truth.
We have decaying and much neglected infrastructure in our streets, parks and our water/sewer system, that is the Truth!
According to reports, we 'need' a new Borough Hall. A luxury that again, we cannot afford, that is the Truth!
Look this list can go on and on, the fact is that Council as a whole has not done their job. Three years ago they cut a minimal increase to make a political football out of the process; that bit them squarely in the *ss. The last 3 years have been double digit increases in taxes, raised fees and reduction in services, that is the TRUTH.
There was a hiring of a political hack for Borough Manager; that even though he worked for SEI, had not a clue of finances, which reflects in the Boroughs current state, that is the Truth!
This council has been living above not only their means, but ours. It has also been reported on another website, that this year alone, this council has over spent almost $500,000! Just notice, it is still hot outside, it's only FREAKING the beginning of August! There is still a full 5 months to go, that is the Truth!
When you and I run low on funding during the course of the paycheck or month, we cut back on our spending, so please explain to me why this Democratically controlled Council has failed to do so? That is the Truth!
For the other Anon poster, I like my steak very rare, the point that the other poster made, while good was not the knock out blow you would have it to be. Mr. Cassidy would have you believe that he is a tough guy, I saw much braver men then him crap their pants in war, do not put him on a pedal stool that he does not deserve.
