| That's quite a bit of money $1800 a month could have bought quite a few schoolbooks, paid for part of the salary of a full time police officer or firefighter, fixed up a few potholes, or fulfill some other really useful government function. Too bad the taxpayers of Orlando won't be getting this money back after having it so irresponsibly wasted by the city.
The funny part is there is another thread which discusses "push polling" used by cable and phone companies to derail plans for municipally-provided Internet service. I always wondered why these companies have to resort to such sleazy tactics when there are plenty of real life examples, such as this story, as to why taxpayer money shouldn't be used for this sort of thing. -- Hey Fast Eddie... you're next! |
