The Gainesville City Commission forced 150,000 resident renters and homeowners to pay for a serises of notoriously expensive misadventures that impoverished many thousands of residents. Evidence continues to prove that the few city commissioners in charge remain unaware and unconcerned with the quality and unnecessarily high costs of local government. They hire, foster and retain overcompensated top management, they support costly no bid contracts, unsupportable real estate deals for the benefit of a few associates as well as extraordinary legal and consulting contracts and costs. Yet, in the hope of regaining control of 90,000+ monthly utility payments, the city funded and is actively influencing an expensive special election proving, once again, that second rate local representatives remain second rate.
Very concise and articulate description of what lies behind the walls of City Hall.
No wonder the Commission keeps private security on site to keep the “vagrants” away.
