My goodness, all the crying about the chief and taxes day after day. I'm not saying the complaints are not valid, it is a lot of money. I'm fine with paying my taxes, sure they are high but I love living here, been here my entire life, 73 years. Here's an idea, all of you complaining should organize and vote them out, start new with your ideas to solve the problems. By the way, I'm retired, worked for a landscaper, not the city.
