Minneapolis has budgeted $200,000 to promote the swamp water that comes out of our tap. Pure propaganda. Not only that but the “rain tax”, otherwise known as the water runoff fee that you are forced to pay on your water bill, supposedly goes towards the sewer system in order to help keep a clean water supply. The water out of our tap smells bad, tastes bad, and is scary to look at. The only way to combat this is to buy a house filtration system, but I thought we didn’t need to do that because of all the extra money “mama Minneapolis” collects to freshen our water for us. Guess I was wrong to trust “mama Minneapolis”.
BTW, how many cops can you buy with $200,000?
The Mayor has the idea to build water fountains that cost $50,000 each, OMG (that’s “oh my gosh” for you non texting folks like me out there). He wants to have big gushing water fountains like the ones he remembers from years ago as a little mayor. Every time the Mayor gets to feeling nostalgic for the “good old days” we the tax payers get a bit liter in the pocket books. Remember he also thinks back to Hennepin avenue in downtown being a two way, wants to build Washington avenue into the Champs Elysees of Midwest, and he is fond of trolley cars. Maybe Mayor Rybak is more suited for paying the video game Sim City than the seriousness it takes to run the real thing. At least with the game you can enter a cheat code when you need more money to plant your dreams instead of fiscally raping the citzens.
