"DIRTY WATER" standells

I wanted to at least view the council meeting before I comment on what the present City Manager plan as well as the solution to Painesville's flooding issue. (so much for that idea?) You would think that council would expect more?

At the next meeting two people from the University of Maryland will be present to map out what can and cannot be done. All four wards will have meeting between October and December to let these people become aware of the situation. Now combined with there analyst and Painesville's studies we can work on a solution to better work in tow.

I commend Mr. Carson for taking the lead in this situation and ask that he be given a fair chance to find a resolution to this problem.

In other news there was a story in Wednesday News-Herald 09/18/13 on the three levies that will appear on the ballot this November. No one can be against good roads, fire, or police. I will remind you to view the minutes of the Painesville Council September 3,2013 meeting in the visitor section of that meeting Mrs. DiNallo told Mr. Don Ware that if people voted for these levies  "it will free up money in the general fund." Look at least be honest with people if the purpose is to free up money from the general fund all these levies will do is replace money that will be used for other needs of the city, replacement, wages. anything. This is what happens without a line item budget. Look if anyone wants to dispute this you may use this forum for you present your views. I for one don't condone the use of fire and police as pawns to a new general fund tax levy.

The NO $ signs will soon appear.
