City under Siege

So the city is now talking about turning off some street lights to save money. They could save over a million dollars a year. I'm fine with it as long as they don't turn my street lights off. I probably speak for all of you when I say that. But that's whats its come to in this city-we're looking at turning off street lights, which could make it easier for creeps, thugs and punks to operate outside the light. But hey, that's what you voted for back in November. And by the way, better not complain when you try to enjoy a nice day at your favorite park and the bathrooms are shut down or some of the playground equipment has been removed-you voted for it. I like this city-but its backwards. We have a City Manager form of government (outdated). We have a number of people that do not want to see this city grow and prosper, and don't want to spend a dime, yet demand, no, scream, for more services. We lose a police helicopter that was a valuable law enforcement tool. Well, we may have more crimes committed and a tougher time catching the bad guys. There are consequences. But its what you wanted.
