What part of we're out of money doesn't he understand? After the water & sewer increases I'm tapped out.

He wants to amend the charter which mans we are probably going to exceed the maximum amount of mills we can be taxed!

9 ministations and he expects $2,293,578.00 the first year. Why the high cost?

No one is even in most of the mini stations as it is,

I would ask that if the Mayor and Council put these milage question on the ballot that a yes or no question be put to the community. DO YOU WANT TO ELECT A CHARTER COMMISSION.

It would be nice if we could elect the 9 members at the same time. Are these CHarter Commissioners elected at large or by ward?

The millages are on hold for 2 weeks. The City Attorney said his staff sent them to council in error and they are still in "draft" form. Hopedully in 2 weeks there will be a greater clarification as to what they millage issues entail.

Josh Freeman is pushing the millages. At a recent forum Walling blamed council because Flint did not have a millage for more police officers. This millage for mini-stations is absurd.

Didn't we just vote down a millage for the jail? If I remember right, we voted down a charter revision commission, too. Why do they keep bringing these things back to us without doing any groundwork to change the vote. It's just a waste of time and money.
