Sqandered in what way? Pet programs where his "connected" friends benefit from the aid?Quote:

Agreed
I agree, Res...EXCEPT
The Mayor is in his last term-can't run again. So he can create as much havoc without having to answer to the electorate. When the City gets sued for his misdeeds, who pays? Oh, yeah, he has managed to squander about $8 million in addtional state aid the City has received over the last 4 years.
The Councilmen are playing nice b/c they want to move up in the ranks - or protect their jobs at the Water Authority or School District. The normal people just think it is the old boys network and that is the way it is.
My problem is the effect on these people's personal lives. Some people treat politics as a game, but the Mayor plays "for keeps." It is really upsetting to see the weak get bullied by this guy.
