Notable Quotes (3)
Overall when you take the city, the HRA, the EDA... all of it is an 8% levy increase over last year.
The response that I got 10 years ago from the council was we don't need no stinking chlorine.
The replacement of our current truck platform... would be 2.4 to $2.5 million. I knew that that was not going to be a feasible task.
