If you’ve been
listening to Karen Ceppa-Hirko for the past year then it comes as no surprise
that we (The City) are broke, but if you’re like the clueless council this is
shocking news.
"It just
seems like a lot has come to together in a short amount of time to create the
proverbial perfect storm," Councilman Bill Barrett said.
- That’s only because you haven’t been listening when Karen was ringing the warning bell for the past YEAR!
Councilman Tony
George said on Thursday he too was in the dark, but hoped to learn more from
Leighton before Monday's meeting.
- That’s only because you ask way too many questions Tony, and you don't just sitting there bobbling you head like your counterparts.
"I can only
stress that we can't be doing this every year," Barrett said
- Well Wake Up Bill, and stop rubberstamping every last thing Da King Slides you.
Ending the year
with a deficit simply isn't an option, Mc-Laugh-lin said
- We in the real world call that a distressed city, where the Governor audits the city, and send your boss to jail.
"We're
definitely in trouble, financially," council President Mike Merritt said.
"What we need to do is have a budget that's sustainable.
- WOW Mikey you sound like Karen!
"We
shouldn't be spending every nickel of what we have," Barrett said
- Here’s a thought Bill, stop taking your lavish trips for God knows what.
When The
Citizens' Voice asked how much revenue the city has collected this year, the
city responded by processing it as a Right-To-Know request that could take five
days or more. Although the city could immediately provide the information,
spokesman Drew Mc-Laugh-lin said Friday that officials did not have the resources
to do so.
Welcome to Wilkes
Barre Chris, if you ask a question, and they don’t want you to know, that is
the standard response. Then they will require a 30 day extension, due to
numerous requests, and finally give you outdated information.
Wake Up
Wilkes Barre
