Are we BROKE yet?

We have all heard King Tommy, crying for years: 

We don’t have the MONEY for silly nonsense like:

• Firemen
• Police
• Crime Prevention
• Clutter Clean-Up 
• Street Repair
• The Fountain on The Square
• New Years Eve Diamond Drops
• OR, Just Basic City Maintenance

But Monday:

The Taxpayers via The City Parking Authority paid former City Administrator JJ Murphy and Fox Rothschild Attorney Alan Wohlstetter $1,750 for 2 1/2 hours of so called work. 

Or if we are in phase two it could have been as high as $2,337

Just to put this in perspective:

If your salary is $50,000 per year... you make $60.09 for 2 1/2 hours of work

Annualized Salary:

Murphy $832,000 per year at $400 per hour

Wohlstetter $1,112,800 per year at $535 per hour

• And the Mayor is crying poverty.
• Are we BROKE yet?
