Subject: Bill 311
It is irresponsible and foolish to pass a bill that authorizes any amount of bond, let alone one that
authorizes the expenditure of $56M, that will result in financing for no specific project.
Please, some thought and reflection here. Are there that many folks on the council who have not taken
an econ 101 course or who have not had to work with their own family or business budgets? Why the
rush here?
If you are going to commit all of us to this debt, please make sure we all know what we are getting. It
is the reasonable thing to do. Nebulous promises of a stimulated economy just don't cut it.
Struggling young home owners and the oldies but goodies on fixed incomes are the ones who will
have to pay for all of this with property tax increases.
Stop and take a breath, please.
Thank you for the consideration.
Aloha,
Eleanor Laszlo
