Public asked for budget input

People in Elmira will have the chance next week to share their input on the city’s proposed 2008 budget.  Here is my input guys, open the budget to a random page, tear out the page, repeat 100 times (200 if you want to show you are serious).  Take the torn out pages, strike those items from the budget
, if any of the items run to multiple pages, please go back and tear out those remaining page.  Take the political heat necessary to excise those torn out pages from the budget, citizens then get to bask in the glow of not having a deficit, and their taxes going down by 50 to 75%.

Do you have a better idea?

    Written as it is in legalese, the budget can be clearly understood by any ten year old with a degree in advanced economics. But then, isn’t that the idea?

    Dazzle ‘em with your brilliance or baffle ‘em with your bullshit. We’re all being baffled.

    All laws are written that way, keeps the lawyers in money. My BIL who is a lawyer laughs when I hand him a contract or document I want him to go over, he gets paid to translate what he was paid to write in the first place. Instead of making it human readable. Sad, that.

    Hey, I know at least one person spoke.

    She didn’t get an answer, but she spoke.
