$300K for invoices related to Mayor Joe’s frisky staff?
How about they all put down the bottle and get to work. I’m tired of the condition of our city under your watch.

$15 million for the Blue Line by us tax payers, after it was sold to us that the project is all federal funding. $2M for homeowner repair?!? Wow, I could use some of that tax payer money for my home. And I hope Mike Oles realizes the city will never buy any forests unless the forests are donated to the city.
Sounds like Michael Paul-Hart has the only worthwhile proposal for more street repair funding!
Nobody ever said that the Blue Line was “all Federal funding.” They’ve been clear from the get-go that Federal funding required a local match and that the local match would be large because of all of the supporting drainage work that is required. This has been a discussion for years. It’s why we passed the transit referendum in 2016. I have no problems with a little extra cash being put towards a large project to ensure that it gets done the right way.
Also, that home repair program goes towards low-income homeowners who need help building equity. The City also gets that money back over time, and then some, because the repairs increase the improved value of the property.
The City’s financial investment is to improve its own stormwater infrastructure. It is just being done in conjunction with Blue Line. Combining two large infrastructure projects into one = savings, efficiencies and less disruption.
