They fail to mention certain key things. Also, how many times do we pay for the same project. Twice is one time too many. And, you can't claim you have talked to a neighborhood or group of people and come to an agreement when you COR/Council simply have done no such thing. It is also very amusing (as in not really amusing) how you pretend total ignorance of things ("oh, I didn't realize that was /wasn't happening," but those are fibs) then you take credit for it if/when it "turns out swell" or didn't go over so well (thanks to your sabotaging). You can't have it all ways, not forever. If you are worrying about your legacy, you sure are mucking it up.
And anytime you find "savings" you blow the budget back up to be able to spend those "savings."
COR and Council thinks that no one notices, but we do. More and more of us are watching you. You need to be more honest about your "news," "nominations," "awards," "projects" and non-existent "agreements" (and "quiet arrangements" with city resources). It very much detracts from what good work and ideas some of you actually do have and do yourselves.
