Why are we so adamant about not excepting this money?
A few questions to ask;
Would this allocation come with an audit of how the city spends the money? Are some in the city wanting to hide our books?
Remember when we refused to WAIT for CORPs money for the levees and paid for it ourselves? Why?
How about all the dilly-dallying around on the RR relocation project and money promised after environmental assessments?
And now we don’t want to take the money for ice storm cleanup.
You also have to take into account that this is OUR money. We pay federal income taxes, so this really isn’t a handout, it is money we paid in.
What is the city hiding that they don’t want us to know? Hmmm.
