These type of numbers go on all the time,50,000 here,100,000 there,but dont worry S.O.P.,you guys keep busting your butt raising your own money to keep the pools open while the FAT CATS running this city keep blowing money and padding their pockets.

When you are incompetent in a job, you should be replaced with people who can actually do what they are paid to do.

Wake up people. We are the ones who pay their salaries. WE are their bosses. Demand that they do what they are being paid, with our money, to do.

How come no one is talking about the big hit we are gonna take with Dearborn’s revenue in 2011? Thanks to Governor Granholm’s sneaky tricks with the appointed state tax commission; a tax appeal was recently granted in favor of the Big Three Auto Companies. This means about 4 million dollars in slashed state shared revenue for Dearborn in care of Ford Motor Company. Other cities are already talking about it.

Let’s also not mention that taxable values on business and residential properties are expected to fall again.

Shouldn’t the City be watching it’s pennies!
