I think Hugh Grogan says it best when it comes to the spending priorities of Mayor Munson;
Hugh Grogan, county welfare director, said he had attended the city budget session, which had no room for the homeless project but did find $1.7 million to improve golf course clubhouses.
“I felt I was in candyland,” he said.
Yeah, but Hugh, what is more important? Golfers having a nice new place to enjoy a brew after an exhausting 18 holes or a homeless person having shelter? Like I said yesterday, it is about time public officials are calling out Munson for what he really is; a phony. It’s just too bad it took until the end of his administration for people to figure it out, kind of reminds you of another politician, doesn’t it?
He (Munson) took exception to criticism of golf course upgrades.
“Now wait a minute,” he said in a phone interview. “We’ve got a responsibility. We have to take care of pools … and parks and fire stations. You start to look at all the needs. We’ve got a great park system.”
Yeah, it’s so nice that many of our homeless enjoy going for a stroll while enjoying an ice cold Tilt.
