I can’t make it. Tell JML he’s getting wordy again.
OIB readers, I have a choice to make this afternoon. A “monthly” report was filed by the Finance Department yesterday afternoon. It covered three months, March, April and May 2012 and presumably provides complete revenue, expense and variance data for the eleven months of the current budget year.
I am going to lunch now and think about what the City has hit or missed in this report, and whether taxpayers have anything to worry about. yahooy doesn’t want a long essay. Grin Reaper calls the material rubbish.
From my point of view, I am more concerned at what the City Council/B&A going to do with it for very serious reasons. Does anyone out there care? You can go down to the City Clerk office and get your own copy for $13.20 and start your own investigation.
Should I take the afternoon off and forget about posting any thoughts about City finances or not? (By the way, KUDOS to Keila for noting the two(!) resignations in Fairfield by two officials around conflict (or appearance of) issues in their private or personal pursuits and their public service. Why is Bridgeport officialdom so far off the mark? (It’s hard to admit you are conflicted, I guess. Because then you have to decide to recuse or resign at an appropriate time. But you don’t get to say it does not matter unless it is Only In Bridgeport.) Time will tell.
*** Satisfy your curiosity their JML, ’cause you never know what you might find! Afterwards if nothing worthy comes of it, then you can toss it as “material rubbish,” no? Oh and don’t concern yourself with what the council might do with it, I’m sure you already know the answer to that question! *** ON THE OUTSIDE, LOOKING IN ***
There is no shortage of white space here and JML should continue to type whatever he wants.
