GO STAMPS GO!

Letter to Council.

The proposed $3/day parking charge will disuade people from parking in transit parking lots, but will also promote parking in residential areas. Additionally, a number of riders will basically drop transit altogether. With the increase in a transit pass to $90 in the new year, the opportunity cost for driving and parking downtown has become less - especially if you can arrange a carpool. You are nickle and diming us to death!

Perhaps there should be free parking for carpoolers.

I am disappointed in this council turning down the proposal to return the budget to the administration. The nit-pick - we saved $40,000 here and $22,000 here WILL NOT CUT IT when we are dealing in a couple BILLION dollars!

The $1,000,000 workout facility that was approved for city hall has to be the final straw for this council. The excuse by the mayor that city workers need a place to work out may be true, but I don't see one at my place of employ. Where is my free pass?

There had been several reports that due to the small number of taxpayers in council chambers during the week has shown that people are just fine and dandy with the tax increases. This is ridiculous - it means people are working during the week!
