Souderton, my home town, is run by greedy, lying incompetents. Witness an item published on the Independent:
Souderton approves $2.5 million pool loan
The loan size was increased from the originally proposed $2 million
Of course. Borough Council never met a debt it didn't want to increase. Now apparently, Council plans to use that extra $500,000 as an "emergency" fund in case costs go over estimate (which they inevitably will).
“It’s our responsibility to not tap into that half million,” [Council President Brian] Goshow said.
Councilman Steven Toy echoed Goshow’s statements, and has no plans to use the money for the pool project unless it is absolutely necessary.
“I don’t hear anybody saying they want to use that money,” Toy said. “It’s contingency. That’s all it is.”
Prediction: Souderton will use the extra $500,000. All of it. If not more. They'll blow through it like a hooker through dope.
The only other item of interest in the article is the resignation of smug douchebag Councilman Jonathan Gardenier due to a "job relocation," making his only significant act on Council the institution of a tax on people who work in the Borough, breaking his campaign promise not to raise taxes during his first two years on Council. Way to waste yet another vote, Souderton.
