Also have to wonder if this policy directly led to unemployment (20 or so employed laid off at the city earlier this month with 100 unfilled positions being scraped also). Garbage policies like that should show everyone that the city views doing things in a cost effective manor as a low priority.
But weren't the good times supposed to last forever?
