CONTINUING FOUNTAIN OF CASH

City Council ended efforts to build an emergency access road to the Hollywood neighborhood and a trail in the Eclipse community, saying both projects are becoming too expensive because of certain hardships.

Impossible, it could not have happened, Council, at the suggestion of someone stopped work on an emergency access road to Hollywood and multi-use trail up in Eclipse just because they were getting too expensive. Not impossible in Suffolk another $1,900,000 turned up in the books and they spent it without
discussion on other projects they considered more important. Actually the money was just dollars allotted to other projects but never spent. But it’s amazing how often and how much spendable dollars turn up now and then.

Seems there is no problem finding money to waste for Ms. Cuffee-Glenn when there are votes to buy and publicity for the mayor. Just last year 1.5 million was wasted on the new tourism office facility not counting the millions thrown away on salaries and benefits. The folks in Hollywood must be perceived as second rate citizens by council but do not deserve to have their lives put at risk.

There are "their dollars" and your dollars that will soon be "their dollars". It is just crazy in Suffolk with the bunch now in charge and yes Sara it is getting worse! The City Manager is perhaps the very worst Administrator ever in th ehistory of Suffolk and then there is our Mayor, who never quits campagning much like the President! Maybe they are related in some distant way.

If Johnson wants to increase revenue for the city she raise cash fast auctioning those stylish and unique pant suits she wears. After receiving the December property tax bill, I'm sure there will be citizens all over this city that would love to have a piece of her.
