Did you know that in fiscal year 2006-2007 the village board funded the sidewalk line for $15,000, but did not use any of it?
Did you know that for fiscal year 2007-2008 the village board funded the sidewalk line for $10,000 and used only $4,600 of it?
For fiscal year 2008-2009 the village board funded the sidewalk line for $38,708 and as of 1/31/09 had not used any of that money.
Did you know for the current fiscal year (2009-2010) the board funded the sidewalk line for $10,000 and we've been told at the village board meetings that they have not used any of it?
When I went to the Village Hall I was unsuccessful in getting an answer to why the money hasn't been used, but I did learn that they always fund it.
Why was there a sidewalk committee when the money was already budgeted? Why wasn't the money used? Why are the sidewalks still in disrepair?
I've been to the meetings. It appears that the elections, tomorrow, are coming at just the right time.
What are your thoughts on any of this?
I'll start...I'm disappointed because it seems like there's been a great deal of time wasted talking and theorizing, instead of action being taken when there was money there anyway.
