Contrary to the opinion of the "Citizens" Financial Committee, there is ways to get through this without a millage increase. We have our best scouring the city financial reports for ways to cut.
THINK ABOUT THESE...
#1 What if it is worse then their predictions....do we raise it again? and again? When does it stop?
#2 Why can't government, when its income drops, cut their budget just like each of us do when OUR INCOME DROPS??
#3 Is forcing dozens of families to abandon their homes help Ferndale?
#4 Does cutting Police and Fire help Ferndale?
#5 Is keeping the DDA or the Kulick Center or any other program worth a few dozen more families losing their homes??
#6 Is their any reason the DDA, Kulick Center or Library couldn't be self sufficient based on their own incomes??
As times get tough, we must ask ourselves tough questions. We must remember not to be selfish and work together to find a solution. Feeding more money into City Government time and time again is NOT that solution!
