Yep. They should since we all know Philly spent thousands of dollars on building that network. /sarcasm

About $220K of taxpayer money was thrown at this boondoggle so far, and that's over the table spending. Given the way we'd see things go down as described in the local news when we lived near there, I have a feeling a lot more than this was spent.

Even if $220K could pay the salaries of 3 or 4 cops, it would have been a better use of that money, especially with crime in Philadelphia the way it is.

So, according to you, while many cities apparently face 'budget cuts' and pass it onto important branches of gov't like public schools, you're fine with throwing taxpayer dollars down the drain at things like WiFi? Heck, I go to a Specialized H.S. in NYC and they might be hit with a
$4 million budget cut next year! They're even thinking of cutting back on the school day, and cutting AP courses. I'm sure similar events are taking place across the country, mainly due to wastes of money like these, besides Bush's trillion $$$ mistake.
