Mike Hogan's $62 Million Budget Cutting Plan

[urbaknight]

I just hope this is a motivation for all who care about DT to get out and vote for Brown.

Don't worry rednecks, with Mike Hogan as your mayor, your outdated good ol boy country town will be safe. Hogan will not allow DownTown to thrive. Any and all modern initiatives to grow the city will be crushed! (said with sarcasm of course)

City is cutting positions all over the board. 30 positions were eliminated earlier this week at Planning. 20 Full time and 10 positions not yet filled.

And on Friday I heard of a number of positions let go from Victim Services & Mental/Behavioral. I think Victim Svcs is being cut entirely.

In the modern world, victims just aren't important enough to protect. And in the South, mental illness was never taken seriously, it is seen as an excuse and frowned upon.

I saw the commercial too.  Mike Hogan "cares about neighborhoods" instead of wasteful downtown developments was the message.  What came to my mind right away was the Courthouse controversy.  I missed the Landing visual, I guess. 

you didn't miss the Landing...the commercial shows the skyway and courthouse....remembe the Landing is owned by ardent Hogan supporter Tony Sleiman

I agree with James S. I don't think a Hogan victory would be disastrous, but I think Brown has a better vision for long-term economic growth.

I think a Hogan Victory would be tremendously disastrous.

yeah I would rather have ronald mcdonald win than Hogan

[Timkin]

Beavis and Butthead.. wait .. if Hogan and Corrigan win , it pretty much would be an equal.

[tufsu1]

yeah but Beavis and Butthead were cool

[PeeJayEss]

Ronald McDonald is pretty cool too.

Yeah but, Tony Sprawlman loves his stripmalls much more than the landing. I think he'd sacrifice the landing and continue to support Hogan.

Sprawlman... LOL.. Where do u guys dream up these hateful names .    We can demolish the landing AND all his stupid strip malls.
