Deegan highlights city’s efficiency initiatives ahead of ‘Duval DOGE’ meeting

[Tacachale]

We're very much still in the early innings of a weeks-long game at this point, so hopefully things will change when more of the reasonable council members have a voice and not just this one committee. Or as the mayor put it, hopefully we see more from the statesmen and less from the performers.

City Council member Rory Diamond, who voted against the funding, said the programs are a case of drawing money from all taxpayers and then "picking and choosing a small handful of people with a ton of money."

I was incredulous when I read the above quote.  What does Diamond think when the Council approved incentives and subsidies to Khan, developers, business investors, etc.?  How small a handful of people is that, that all of us taxpayers are loading with a ton of money?  Khan, alone, has received dozens of times the amount of money that the Council Finance Committee is gnashing hands over currently.

Diamond is just another clout chaser. Lying and bloviating is his standard operating procedure. Everyone I know sees right through him.

Maybe he should try showing up for a council meeting once in a while.
