This city/state couldn't care a less what the public things. They will do as they please, and as far as they are concerned YOU work for THEM.

They over spend on their hobby projects, they know the working class can't carry them any longer, yet they continue to push so hard that the average person is having to go without necessities so that the city/state doesn't suffer.

I'm sick of it, and I don't care if this group "needs" this or that group "needs" that. I am not giving one more dime for anything.

I am moving out of this area in a few months, but good luck to the rest of you.
