You can't stop the rainin' by complainin'

Here's a couple of the things that I don't get about Mesa. People don't want a property tax - the election made that clear. They don't trust the council - which is pretty self evident. They want things to stay they way they are - yet they are unwilling to support anything that might help.

I was looking through the opinions today and I saw this one by David Gundlach. Its just oozing with a sense of entitlement. Tell me, Mr. Gundlach, what do you think would be the right deal?

Here's what I don't understand. If the City is supposed to be making all sorts of cuts to make sure that we have enough money for Police, Fire and Roads, why not sell off some land that could be put to a better use to make more money for the city? If we need to tighten our belts to make things work, why not cut back on a few parks or use a few pieces of city property to a higher and better use?

When you are broke, you don't keep spending money on things like going to the movies or candy. You start looking for ways to spend your money wisely and perhaps look around your house and see what you aren't using any more and perhaps hold a little garage sale.
