So much for the Smart Growth Plan. A lot of us wasted a lot of time on the process to create that document, and a lot of taxpayer dollars were wasted as well, since the Plan Commission has now abandoned it. When I was the city administrator, residents would occasionally suggested that the city government was run exclusively for the benefit of the developers and home builders. I thought that was nonsense. Now it does not seem so far fetched.
ReplyDeleteThe city is spending money like a drunken sailor on shore leave, borrowing money as fast as it can, and now there will be less tax base per additional citizen to pay off the debt service. Short-term gain, followed by decades of financial pain.
