Exposing the Lies!!

Just a few things to get you to think:

   I I found it rather interesting that when the Council was asked how they were going to pay for the Paid firefighters after the grant runs out, the Mayor responded that it would come out of the fire budget. Gee, if we do the math we see that it will cost approximately $500,000.00 to $600,000.00 to pay for the paid fire company each year when the grant is gone. That is approximately $100,000.00 per Fire Company! How are the fire companies going to function when more than half of our funding is taken away? Another interesting thing the mayor said was that the 1st year of the Safer Grant covered only 90% of the paid fire department's expenses. This is rather interesting, since according to what I SAW of the Grant, based on it having been given to us September 9, 2009. As such this is how the breakdown of the Safer Grant is supposed to go:

09-19-2009 to 09-19-2010 100% percent of the grant would go to the complete funding the paid fire department, then AFTER that year was up, it covered 80%,50%, and so on.) Evidently, Joey D was lying! If by chance Harran happens to be seeing this, show me the grant, and PROVE ME WRONG!!
Then Pizzo, the solicitor ( You know, one of two we pay for to attend the meeting at $350.00 per hour apiece!) stated that our budget is balanced. IF this is so, then why did we have a budget shortfall of $6,500,000.00. He then admitted that they took $6,500,000.00 from the reserve fund to balance last year's budget. When asked how they planned to balance the budget for this year, they refused to answer any questions about how they intend to balance the budget this year. I guess we have to wait until after the election to hear about the funding shortfall. They get $11,000,000.00 a year from the casino and yet they still had a $6,500,000.00 shortfall! That means we are spending at over a $17,000,000.00 deficit! Guys, I have a copy of the township's budget, and they are operating with a potential of at least a $9,807,895.00 deficit!

STILL WANT TO SAY THE BOOKS ARE BALANCED PIZZO???
