There are four basic necessities: Food, Water, Shelter, and Safety. The city Lords of Phoenix are attacking one of these; food. Possibly we will be able to convince them not go go thru with this - BUT - if they do then ALL of us must remember this at election time and vote EVERY ONE OF THEM of them out of office - forever, AND never do buisness with any business or company any of them own or are a part of.
It only takes a perusal of Phoenix' Comprehensive Annual Financial Report to see how ludicrous this is. There constant references to budget deficits has nothing to do with the financial condition of the city.
I don't suppose the alternative of cutting back on their spending has ever occurred to them. . . .
