They spent more time last night debating the color scheme for a new playground than they did discussing options for saving up to $700k per year in recycling and solid waste collection expenses. What a joke they’ve become.
Now Susan wants to prevent Pickleball from being played at the same time tennis is being played because the tennis players don’t like the noise Pickleball makes? Jesus. What next Susan?
Great presentation by Mr. Calbi and Mr. Hamlin about ways to save money picking up trash and recycling. Council seemed uninterested though. Too bad. Pickleball noise and jungle gyms of more interest to the 4 women than reducing taxes.
