More on the $40,000 waste in WR

So the question I want answered in the worst way is where will the $40,600 used yearly to line the pockets of the City Council and Mayor come from?

Are they going to cut police salaries? Public safety funding? Infrastructure? City employee salaries? Water? Gas?

Or are they going to raise taxes? This is the most likely explanation, as salary cuts would piss off a bunch of city employees, ALL of whom are registered voters. Tax increases just piss off most folks but can be levied at a time when it's not near an election so they're easily forgotten.

Most people believe that money grows on trees. It does not.

Warner Robins politicians may try to tell you that they can increase their salaries without cutting programs or raising taxes. They can not.

At least they're doing this legitimately and in plain view instead of skimming off the top behind the scenes.


The City Council meets Next Monday (the 20th) at City Hall, at 6:30 pm. I will be there with bells on... please come join me! I hope to be able to ask the above question and possibly speak a little.
