Why not? They bailed out all the banks and car makers and everyone else. Maybe chubby is not so stupid after all? OK, he is.

I live in the San Carlos area. About 2 months ago the city came along and fixed numerous sections of broken sidewalk. Now they are back, cutting out many of those repairs so they can install wheelchair ramps at every intersection on a 1 mile stretch of road in a residential neighborhood. I asked one of the workers about it and he just shrugged and said someone didn't pay attention to upcoming work orders when they ordered the broken slabs repaired. What an amazing waste of taxpayer money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231162963364357109.post-72791862199163716732009-09-03T00:00:22.138-07:002009-09-03T00:00:22.138-07:00We had a similar exodus (although on a much smalle...We had a similar exodus (although on a much smaller scale) when the City hosed us on health insurance. Hell, they had a meeting about the changes and told one of our retirees he wouldn't be covered under the retiree health plan and would have to apply for Medicare. So much for expecting 'their' loyalty after thirty years of your loyalty.Beat And Releasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17942485015211254209noreply@blogger.com
