Carlo is doing this so he can buy people off because he fears Van Campen. He does not care about the budget or the implications on the budget in the coming future years. He sticking it to all of us. We are all doomed if the common council keeps giving him the store. Another mayoral election cannot come fast enough. Lets just hope the right person runs against this spendthrift.

| Did you have a typo in #2 or was it City Hall? The non MWRA items add to $3,480,000, not $4,480,000. |

| I spoke with someone from the mayors office who says they want to act on this quickly to take advantage of the construction season. Using that lame excuse to shortchange everyone and not give anyone enough time to carefully understand what they are doing is the most absurd thing. And, if Dave Rodrigues and Ken Gianelli vote on this tonight, I will have an ethical problem with that. Just add to all the other complaints to State Ethics about Dave Rodrigues. Oh, that's right....he has an "in" at State Ethics and those complaints will probably get "filed" away somewhere. It is criminal what is allowed to go on. |

I'm not surprised but wanted to check. It seems accuracy is not a requirement & people don't have a problem presenting the general public with proof of that regularly! |

Lots of questions, so little time to consider something of this magnitude.
Gianelli and Rodriques shouldn't even show up tonight if the rumors of them stepping down are true. The state's fabulous ethics commission probably wouldn't find them guilty of anything if they voted for these items tonight. But to me anyways, it would be morally represensible it they did so. |

| So, it sounds like our taxes will continue to rise and our water rates will also continue to rise. |
