Colorado Springs
cuts into services considered basic by many

Posted: 01/31/2010 01:00:00 AM MST

COLORADO SPRINGS � This tax-averse city is about to learn what it looks
and feels like when budget cuts slash services most Americans consider
part of the urban fabric.

More than a third of the streetlights in Colorado Springs will go dark
Monday. The police helicopters are for sale on the Internet. The city is
dumping firefighting jobs, a vice team, burglary investigators, beat cops
� dozens of police and fire positions will go unfilled.

The parks department removed trash cans last week, replacing them with
signs urging users to pack out their own litter.

Neighbors are encouraged to bring their own lawn mowers to local green
spaces, because parks workers will mow them only once every two weeks. If
that.

Water cutbacks mean most parks will be dead, brown turf by July; the
flower and fertilizer budget is zero.

City recreation centers, indoor and outdoor pools, and a handful of
museums will close for good March 31 unless they find private funding to
stay open. Buses no longer run on evenings and weekends. The city won't
pay for any street paving, relying instead on a regional authority that
can meet only about 10 percent of the need.

"I guess we're going to find out what the tolerance level is for
people," said businessman Chuck Fowler, who is helping lead a private
task force brainstorming for city budget fixes. "It's a new day."

Of course not. The author knows that illegals and their co-
conspirators would call him a racist --- a fate more feared than death
amongst wimpy, irrational, politically correct Americans.

However, it is an encouraging breath of fresh air. A city actually doing the
fiscally responsible thing and cutting costs when unable to make the budget
rather than relying upon pumping up the taxes in order to pay for "bread and
circuses". It's a bitter pill to swallow, but IMO in the end the residents
and the city will be the stronger for it as they look to address and reduce
unnecessary and irrelevent costs. As the fat is trimmed away and the budget
slimmed down to real necessities, those services which are actually required
can be supported more easily, and those that can't willl be put on hold, as
they should be. Perhaps this step will also generate the necessary drive for
the residents to address and take action about any illegal immigrant
population that may exist. As people, employers and businesses find them
less attractive as neighbors, employees, workers and customers, there will
be economic, political, social and even legal pressure put on them to leave.

Probably because they aren't. Colorado Springs is a military city, as
all of the
soldiers were deployed, they lost a lot of sales tax revenue. As all
of the Focus
on the Family outfits crashed and burned, they lost both sales tax and
real estate
taxes. Because they are the most right-wing city in the state (who
would NEVER
allow illegals, btw) they refuse to raise taxes.

So... doomed.

Business??? They LOVE illegals and the cheap labor they bring. And the
businesses then bribe the legislators and media into supporting illegals.

That free k-12 needs to end. There is absolutely NOTHING in the
constitution that says illegals have a right to any education. But in 1982
in plyer v doe, our "justices" took their bribes and invented this right.

Damn right. 10 million illegals in CA have bankrupted the schools,
hospitals, prisons, and welfare system. They're also a big reason for the
water shortage.

Perhaps, but when your customers start taking it personally and refusing to
do business with you, or other businesses no longer which to look the other
way and start kicking up a fuss, or people inform on you to INS (ask several
business owners who were recently charged with illegal aid and sheltering of
illegal aliens if that is an empty threat), then the risk to your business
becomes too high to justify the nominal cost savings.

Right-wing don't mean nothin'.Reagan gave amnesty to 4 million illegals and
McCain is a huge supporter of illegals. Most businessmen are conservative
politically but they too LOVE illegals because of the cheap labor they
bring.

There is absolutely NOTHING in the constitution that says US citizens


have a right to any education.

Hope this helps!

I don't think either Reagan or McCain are covered by the current term
"right wing". McCain is looked at as a RINO.

No most business don't love illegals because of the headaches with INS
and La Migra they bring.

Some points to ponder:
Why is it good if a vacuum cleaner really sucks?
Why is the third hand on a clock called the "second hand"?
Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Why do we sing "Take me out to the ballgame" when we are already
there?

I doubt that there are 10 million illegals just in California since the
estimate is 12 - 20 million nationwide. They are also not the only
problem California has. You, of course, are welcome to provide any cite
or data you wish to prove me wrong.

If only US local, state and federal governments were required to
publicly
disclose where, exactly, our tax dollars are being spent.

We can speculate that it's illegals, but technically, I don't see how
this is
possible. Aside from the rape of our emergency care system by illegals/
medical
tourists, the illegals being incarcerated at our expense and public
education where
else could illegals be receiving benefits? Supposedly, general relief,
AFDC and
social security benefits are all denied illegals right?

I wonder how many legal immigrants, aka. "refugees" like the loverly
Somali shitbags
are on welfare and if they ever get OFF of welfare.

I'm surprised CO Springs is this fucked up though.

I think Reagan could be considered the foundation for right-wingers.
He
was more moderate, but definitely had the potential, and certainly
that
is the part of him that today's Republican't thinks he represented.

Its a trade-off and depends on industry. Some are willing to go there,
as witnessed
by the regular raids these days, most are not.
