Let’s talk about fiscal responsibility in this post and answer that question for ourselves.
Now for those of you that do not know the budget this council approved began July first. Now the first quarter of this budget ran from July first through the month of September.
Now I am going to put the link for the city’s last council
packet on line here with a link so you can see for yourselves that we are in
some serious trouble here.
Now this document shows what each department of our city was
budgeted to operate on by this council and their budget committee. If you
remember right there were some not a part of their clique in the budget committee
that raised some objections to what was going on. Now in the link I am going to lead you to; first you must understand that when something is reflected in parentheses
"(?)", that means that the money is gone and what is inside of those parentheses reflects money overdrawn beyond what was budgeted.
The general fund is already broke and over budget to pay
employees and they hired more people? As a matter of fact out of the general
fund in one quarter only 13% of that total budget is left for the next 3
quarters.
Streets are broke and over budget in the first quarter. So
how are we going to pay to plow the snow? The contingency? One snow storm and
that will all be gone.
The water fund is broke and over budget almost $11,000.00 in
the first quarter of this budget year.
The sewer fund is broke and over budget one dollar away from
being $2,500.00 in the first quarter of this budget year.
So open the following link and go to page 45 and see for
yourselves the state of the financial affairs in our city and tell me does this
council have any right managing our city in the executive capacity?
Then tell me has this council been as fiscally responsible
as they make themselves out to be?
Then answer is clear to me in black and white so see for
yourselves using their very own financial report as it speaks for itself.

Kinda funny that before these buffoons were in charge, only the Fire Chief's Department was "broke and over budget".
Lance Masters should stick to something he knows, like growing weed in his basement.
Anybody else notice that the signs for Lance Masters are fading? Kind of like he is. Enjoy that, Cascade Locks.
