Debbie Campbell Comes To Taxpayers Rescue AGAIN, No Tax Increases

Year after year Councilwoman Debbie Campbell digs her heels in deep and goes line item by line item to find hidden money and or mistakes made by the Mayor's Office.

This year Mayor Jim Ireton has proposed yet another tax increase to make up for the shortfall in revenue but amazingly enough, once Ireton's insiders report back to him that Debbie has found enough money to reject his tax increase, Ireton then put out a late Press Release last night stating they FOUND additional money.

Nothing like taking away Campbell's thunder, but that's Ireton's style. Never give credit where credit is due. Campbell will propose a $500.00 per employee Bonus in today's budget work session, let's see how the rest of the Council responds. I mean, if Mitchell can break the expense bank, (see Post at 10:30 am today) one has to wonder where they'll go from here.
