Cut foolish spending, not street maintenance
Surely Greensboro City Council members have been possessed by some mental affliction. Not only have some stated they need to add more taxes to the already overburdened property owners, but now they want “deferred maintenance” so they can use the money for something else.
I have seen before where streets have “deferred maintenance,” and it ends up costing up to five times the amount it normally would have. Plus it always comes back to more bonds, which cost property owners, and rates are never reduced after a bond is paid off. Oh! That is new-found money after being paid off.
Quit buying $40,000 trucks for maintenance supervisors who don’t need them to haul anything; put them in small trucks. Save money by cutting spending (in case you didn’t think of that).
