Report Inappropriate Comments

To those anonymous critics that keep complaining that I "haven't mentioned one line-item that I would cut from the budget".

We all know that you just want something else to complain about. If I said I wanted to reduce ANY item in the budget by ten cents you would yell, scream and stamp your feet accusing me of harming that department and you would try to rally everyone in that department against me. So let me ask you a few questions:

If we had VOLUNTARY PENSION BUYOUTS and just one retiree accepted, would that "Cut Spending"?

If we had a HIRING FREEZE and just one employee retired or resigned and wasn't needed to be replaced, would that "Cut Spending".

If we REWARDED EVERY DEPARTMENT THAT UNDERSPENDS would that "Cut Spending"?

If we PENALIZED EVERY DEPARTMENT THAT OVERSPENDS would that "Cut Spending"?

The Corrente Plan is full of ideas that either "Cut Taxes" or Cut Spending". If you truly want to help (not harm) our City, then suggest something that "Cuts Taxes" or Cuts Spending" and I will happily add it in and credit you for it. Otherwise please just shut up. Your comments are destructive, not constructive, and I noticed you didn't say anything about my opponent who hasn't mentioned ANY plan. Kinda makes people think you're a henchman for him. That's dirty politics.

Happy Summer everyone.
