They just want money to pay the morons who work for the city to do
nothing.

You should see our tollway taxing system. They spent 250 million on a
toll plaza to collect through i pass and tried to tell us how much
easier it was going to make our lives. The jerk governor we have had
30+ signs at over 30 grand each with his name plastered all over them
(free advertising) telling us how lucky we are, and to enjoy "open
road tolling." And now we have a budget crisis. LOLOL Next they'll
be taxing bottled air.
