Mayor Rocky Anderson continues to show a disregard for spending our tax dollars and an inability to manage them. At the last City Council meeting regarding his proposal for exchanging "free speech" on the Main Street Plaza for the northwest community center building, the mayor was asked: How much will it cost to maintain and staff the $5 million center once it is built. What will go into the center? What services will be provided? The mayor glibly replied that he did not know the cost, or who would pay the ongoing costs, but the architects were now planning the building. With his "project of the day" for the past four years, the mayor has shown he does not care about spending or raising taxes. Any CEO would be fired on the spot for such irresponsible actions.
