Pike trolley) are the subprime mortgages of the scam, not qualifying for the County's much vaunted triple A bond rating. <br /><br />It is a bald-faced lie when Chris Zimmerman and the five bobbleheads claim they are operating responsibly within the constraints of the AAA rating.<br /><br />Too bad the CB had to replace Mike Brown with a lap dog.<br /><br />I like good schools, good parks, good public transportation and good neighborhood improvements as mcuh as the next guy, but not when they are financed extravagently and recklessly. I'm going to send a message to the ARLCO government by voting against each bond referendum.Let's Be Freenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-23999293530005324502010-10-29T04:53:04.450-04:002010-10-29T04:53:04.450-04:00Who is putting up the green signs urging approval ...Who is putting up the green signs urging approval of the wasteful and extravagant parks bonds?L.K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-42228611620732954162010-10-29T04:51:20.624-04:002010-10-29T04:51:20.624-04:00Zimmerman, Favola and Fisette are carpetbaggers fr...Zimmerman, Favola and Fisette are carpetbaggers from the Rust Belt.
