LIMIT
ROCKY RIVER CITY GOVERNMENT SPENDING, TAXES AND
SURPLUS!
To: Rocky River City School District, Rocky
River City Government, Rocky River Business
Community and Fellow Residents,
STARTING
SEPTEMBER 5, 2006 -
I Will Move To Put A Charter Addition – That Will
Limit Rocky River City Government Spending, Taxes and Surplus.
(see proposal)
Then Put It Onto The
November 6th,
2007 - Rocky River Municipal Election Ballot.
The same day that I
plan to be on the
ballot for Mayor of Rocky River!
‘LIMIT RIVER GOVERNMENT SPENDING’
will be my
‘mayoral campaign theme’
to promote my 'charter addition'
and also the reason residents will want to vote for me for
Mayor. Why?
ROCKY RIVER TAXPAYERS CANNOT SUSTAIN THE GROWING
FINANCIAL NEEDS OF THE ROCKY RIVER CITY GOVERNMENT!
1.
‘.6 Billion Dollars’ or ($610,263,582.90) has showed in the City of
Rocky River’s ‘Proposed Spending Budgets’ from 1990 through
2006.
- Is
there an 'elected Rocky River official that is on the learning
curve'
– that can
account for - where every penny of our tax money went to?
- Or are city officials willing to support
limiting city spending in a charter addition?
If not, it’s time to limit city
spending.
2.
A 145% increase in Rocky River's 'proposed spending budget' from
the 1990 budget of $22,290,058 – to the 2006 BUDGET of
$54,706,230.00. (Rocky River City Government Proposed
Spending Budgets - 1990 & 2006) -
Is
there an 'elected Rocky River official that is on the learning
curve'
– that can explain why Rocky
River City Government Budgeting increased by 145%?
Did the city employee's incomes increase by
145%? If not, what was the money spent on? - Or are city officials willing to support
limiting city spending in a charter addition?
If not, it’s time to limit
city spending.
3.
A 1.6% increase only - for Rocky River’s ‘population’
- from the 1990
population total of 20,410 – to the 2000 population total of
20,735. (U.S. Census 1990 & 2000)
- Is
there an 'elected Rocky River official that is on the learning
curve'
that can answer why -
Rocky River City Government officials were not fired for proposing spending budget totals
that increased 145% while the Rocky River
population increased approximately only 1.6%?
- In a
'professional private corporation' the people including 'The
CEO' in charge would
all be fired.
- Or are city officials
willing to support limiting city spending in a charter addition?
If not, it’s time
to limit city spending.
4.
$245,473,395.98 has showed in the City of Rocky River’s
‘Proposed Spending Budgets’ from 2002 through 2006.
- Is
there an 'elected Rocky River official that is on the learning
curve'
– that can
account for where every penny of our tax money went to -
in the
last five (5) years?
-
Elected city
officials
should easily tell Rocky River taxpayers why Rocky River
City Government proposed 'spending budgets' averaging
approximately $49 million a year - in the last five (5) years! -
Or are city officials willing to support limiting city spending
in a charter addition?
If not, it’s time to limit city spending.
5.
$91,016,559 was the combined ‘budget total’ for government employee
(1.)
salaries
(2.) fringe
benefits - proposed by Rocky River City Government – from 2002
through 2006.
"Is
there an 'elected Rocky River official that is on the learning
curve'
– that can
explain. (1.) Who are now and were employed by the city of Rocky
River? (2.)What was the reason for these said city employee's
hiring? (3.) How much in salary and fringe benefits did these
city employees make - both presently and for past employees that
once worked for the city of Rocky River in the past five (5)
years?
- 'So We the
Taxpayers of Rocky River'
can understand where on
an average of
more than $18 million dollars per year went to whom and why?
In
my opinion - No ‘Professional Private Business’ would stand for
these wage numbers! -
Or are city officials willing to support limiting city spending
in a charter addition? If
not, it’s time to limit city spending.
