A Bit Short

The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL
April 9th

During the public comment portion of the meeting the Mayor was questioned, by a citizen, about the lack of a report on the agenda for the Entrance Advisory Group Committee.  Jerry's response was that there was no report, but the EAG was thinking about having a meeting".  He felt that there were not problems with the leadership of the group, but they needed energized "worker bees" to renew the efforts of the EAG.  The EAG fund has $18,000 in the bank with two pledges of $25,000 uncollected and another $7,000 to be collected as well.  It is Jerry's estimate that a total of between $135,000 and $150,000 total needs to be accrued to finish the monuments.  When asked about the effect of the new reassessment, he believes it means an extra $2 million out of WL taxpayers pockets.  Despite this, he believes they can raise the amount of money needed.  Really.

Sadly this is an ill advised and inappropriate endeavor

If this were a church requesting donations to invest in infrastructure would be appropriate

This is a City and should behave like one

Capital should be invested and paid for out odf the budget

Reminds me of the the Wounded Warrior project

We should be ashamed that our troops and families who suffered so much are in need of donations to get the help they need


All of you who were for this crusade wherewe spend trillions spreading freedom should get out the check book or vote for people who will do the right thing

We can build Iron Domes and Polish Missle Shields but apparently we cannot afford to take care of our own heros
