"...Council members who support [the] ...misguided concept of using bonds for infrastructure maintenance and improvement... are actually telling the citizens that maintaining a “no-tax increase” stance enhances their chances for re-election, and therefore trumps a more fiscally sound plan of supporting the infrastructure up-front through the annual budget process.
By the time payment on these bonds comes due, our current council members will have retired from politics and will be busy on the back nine at Sedgefield. Pity the council that ends up holding the bag.
