ReplyDeleteShould we send them to finance class 101, I don't think they are taking the budget crisis very seriously. I saw in the paper the mayor is still wasting tax payer money on out of town seminars and conventions. I wonder if at these conventions and seminars, do they teach her how to bring real industry to Evansville or just how to make sure to raise residents taxes.
