Poor Jerry has had toe deal with all kinds of budgetary issues after his library tax didn’t pass.

If the “have been planning on this” then why are we now borrowing the money to pay them?

The library tax was going to be the silver bullet to cure all the Mayor For Life’s ills. Hence the reason there was no moonlight provision in the bill after the library improvements were made. Jerry candy-coated the city’s budget up until the bill was shot down. Come on…..who could vote against libraries?

Gil: I’m glad somebody’s getting enjoyment out of that sorry situation. I feel most bad for the firefighters and this morning’s C-J article which spins HRH the Lord Mayor of the ‘Ville as Santa to the Firefighter’s Xmas (take that, Williams!) made my blood boil. Last I saw, there were 10 comments–all negative–on C-J’s online version of the story.

What a schmuck! If he’d paid up on the first go-round, the total bill wouldn’t have been the size of Nicaragua’s national debt and we’d have been able to pay it years ago when we were all fat, happy and had some cash.

Thanks, Jerry. I think when they put up an equestrian statue in your honor, it should only feature the part of the horse that most resembles your mayoral skills…
