    Budget Crisis...Nevermind.

    This is what you get when you elect a proven liberal who runs on the honor code of the Army Rangers...

    Let's not forget his lies about NOT cutting higher ed and all the taxes he has already raised.

    Re: Budget Crisis...Nevermind.

    Unrelated to "equal pay" but related to the "Budget crisis...never mind" theme is this. Voters in Natchitoches are deciding today to reallocate a surplus fund, meant for infrastructure such as water, sewerage, streets, bridges...ya know, unimportant stuff, in favor of building a new rec complex of ball fields, etc. Our idiot mayor, Lee Posey, who happens to have owned a sporting goods' store, and still retains a minority interest in same, first pushed for a new tax, months back, to fund the complex. When that met staunch opposition, he switched to raiding the surplus account. No new taxes, and I mean, come on, the money is just sitting there, earning interest, in a silly "rainy day" fund. Let's blow the whole wad!

    Now....let me see....Lee Posey is an moronic democrap, who along with other 'craps around here, have been on their bandwagon lamenting the state's budget crunch, how it affects NSU, and how it has caused a reduction in taxpayer funded allocations from BR to Natch. to put on silly festivals. Not fair! They all blame Jindal for the state's mess, because, after all, he inherited a surplus in the state's "rainy day" fund and he blew through it, without providing a means to replenish it, i.e. taxes.

    So now, the geniuses in Natch. decide to mimic what they accuse Jindal of doing and raid the "rainy day" fund meant for water/sewerage to build baseball fields. Not only does this eliminate that safety net, but INCREASES the city's obligations to now have to maintain a new facility.

    Now watch....a few years from now some crisis will strike the city's water/sewerage system, there'll be no money, so whalloh! a call for increased taxes. Surely voters will vote themselves a tax increase then, to provide clean water "for the children."

    As an aside, a company approached the City of Natch with a request to set up a demonstration of a new water treatment system that would save the city $millions annually, just on the chemicals they would no longer need to buy, and on electricity to power the new system in comparison to the huge water treatment plant. One would think that the officials at the City would jump at a chance to allow the demonstration, understanding they were under no obligation to purchase it. Then make their own assessments of the results. But! apparently someone at the chemical company who is selling $millions of chemicals to the city was alerted and stepped in and had the demonstration stopped. Wonder how much went under the table for that one.

    It is spelled "corruption." Good ole democraps in charge, mind ya.

    You know.....I bet y'all think it must be awesome being right all the time. Yeah, beats the alternative. But it's also a burden I must bear. So....

    the City of Natchitoches has sent out letters telling property owners, many of them, they have to spend their own money to fix a problem in the city's water system. Now....do you think it's just coincidence they waited until AFTER the vote on that stupid rec complex? Do you think voters would have said NO! to reallocating money meant to maintain the water system if these letters had gone out prior to that vote?

    Now, it's gonna cost the average homeowner $500 to have some valve installed, and another $100 per year, from now on, to have it inspected annually.

    Oh! but they'll have those ball field!

    Democraps. Natchitoches is very liberal. Always has been.

    The precincts in the city always vote for the democrap. In recent elections, Landrieu carried the city in her failed re-election bid, as an example. Heck, even Michael Dukakis won the city in his presidential bid back in '88, as did Mondale and Carter when they were clobbered by Reagan nationwide. It's always that way.
