Not Interested In Looking For 5% Budget Reduction
"We don't have enough money now"
At the council meeting of January 28, 2013 during debate of the motion to ask staff to prepare a list of possible budget savings to a maximum of 5%, councilor Greves said he thought it was a pointless exercise as "we don't have enough money now".
To say I nearly fell off my chair would be an understatement to think a keeper of the public purse seems to think the only answer to the city's fiscal house is to raise more taxes. That of course being the only solution to not having enough money to spend.
He also had no problem giving third reading to the budget bill which council has not debated to this point.
