Because there is lots of criticism of the parking and beach costs and obviously the board likes to talk about money, I thought maybe we could have a more in depth discussion about the budget. I got a copy of it yesterday, greek to me, but I am sure there is a way to make it more accessible. It would also be cheaper for the city to have it available in PDF form on the web so they didn't have to make 40 legal size copies every time someone wanted a copy.
It makes no sense to me to harp on .50/hour or 50 bucks a year without looking at the bigger picture. I am no one to judge fiscal responsibility, but I think we were like...12 mil in the hole. And unless I am mistaken, we were bailed out just like the banks by the good people of NJ. Anyone up for it? I can't figure it out, but am happy to do some data entry with some guidance to create something that is easier to discuss than the jumble of letters and numbers in front of me now. Some nice graphs, easy revenue and expense sheets, etc. But I am not interested in a solo project, I've no problem with paying for a beach badge or the occasional 50 cents. Or we can flounder around on the surface with complaints/counter complaints and the occasional personal jab. We get the government, budget and expenses we deserve. Have a lovely Saturday evening!
