Duluth City Hall: Help us balance the budget
“I need help.”
It can be a hard thing to admit. Especially publicly. Yet public servants at Duluth City Hall have done just that with its citizens budget committee.
If you missed the story, give it a read. Duluth city officials are seeking citizen input on ways to further slash the town budget. The city’s $17 million has already been sliced and diced. More is needed. An expected $4 million revenue shortfall is expected for fiscal year 2010.
Talk about civic transparency. Talk about solid leadership. Hard to find fault with this approach.

Now Mr. Smith the embarrassed Republican, like when bush visited a place they took the protesters off his route, isn’t consided screening?
Your defense is one case in dinky town USA won by the very Liberal ACLU, do you get tired from speaking from your butt hole?

I just left Duluth. 30 minutes ago…even in the rain they run rampant and as usual Duluth’s finest is afraid they’ll melt and sat in the car. No doubt the fool was asleep.

Yada Yada Brucie, don’t you think it’s about time you stopped your little antics? Yes there are limits to all rights but “screening rights”? That is going down a very slippery slope that at some point will step all over someone’s constitutional first and probably fourteenth amendment rights. If left unchecked unchallenged it is the pathway to despotism. And, no, the rights of free speech and redress did not die with the hippies. The ACLU has more than the cajones to challenge the very things you say no one cares about anymore and they really are “Perspiring Attorneys”(actual lawyers) not just want to be lawyas.
