'the mayor himself has said they're getting back to the core priorities.' Saffo, don't think for one minute that we, the voters, don't see your attempt to start CYA for your re-election campaign. Let me tell you what you and other council members need to do! You need to start having fund raisers to put OUR monies back in the general fund. Monies that you foolishly spent on a project that was not approved. You need to give it back and right now! That was not your money to throw away and falls just short of stealing as far as I'm concerned.
