If anybody that lives in norman hasn't heard, the city is laying off people due to a suppose budget shortfall. They have said we over spent and don't have the money to pay some of our employee's. They have and are still spending money knowing they were going broke and new they were broke.

Take in for instance the porter street project. They started that knowing there budget was getting low, and have been paying thousands if not millions on a study to decide what to do with porter street. The mayor said in tuesday nights meeting, "We haven't started any construction to spend alot of money on the project yet, this is a study phase to see what kind of funds we could get when we do start construction. It may be 20 years till anything is being done."

What the hell!!! Your broke, cutting jobs, spent thousands or millions on a study for a project but may be 20 years before you even start it. We need to public to stand in with support.

Does anybody know about the 7 million spent on the bridge for the embassy suites hotel? The city Of Norman put up money for the project, that should be in the laps of ODOT, not the city. They are buying 180 more cop cars, they let the cops drive them home, and even to there second job if they have one, with over 60,000 gallons of fuel being used a month. Couldn't they save that by not letting them drive them home and everywhere except when on patrol.

We need our residents and public behind us, we need there support, this is your tax dollars being wasted on stupid spending at the expense of your employee's. If you like your parks mowed and trimmed, support us, if you want your streets to stay nice and maintained, support us, you want your trash and yard waste picked up support us. With out the workers the city will not function well. The norman transcript has ran 2 storys on this, one is in todays paper, the other I think was on tuesdays edition. Want to know more about what norman is wasteing your tax dollars on, let me know, or PM me for more details. Please support us we need you at the council meetings and study sessions.
