The Berlin City Council just amazes me

To the editor:
I am in favor of the Laidlaw
recovery boiler conversion
project, and most of the
people I know or have talked
to also support it.
It amazes me that the city
council can so callously turn
their collective backs on millions
of dollars in tax revenue,
on millions of dollars in
wages to support area families,
on millions of dollars
that will help support Berlin
area businesses, and on dollars
that will go to people
who will purchase and main-
tain housing - instead of letting them
rot, as is now the case.
It amazes me that the council is so
willing to do that without having any
concrete plan to generate an equivalent
amount of revenue in an equivalent
amount of time.
It amazes me that the council can
do that, and then throw a hissyfi t
- a childish temper tantrum - when
the school department manages
their money in a manner responsible
enough to generate a surplus.
It’s sad.
