Welcome to Oma-Hell

Well true followers, the budget deficit crisis in Omaha Ne, is nowhere close to being solved in my opinion; The city council did pass a 2.4 cent property tax increase to try to close the gap in the budget. The Mayor of Omaha in his "infinite" wisdom wants to institute the $50.00 satellite dish inspection fee, $ 900,000 property tax increase and a 300,000 building inspection fee. Property tax increases are a given in this economy, I can understand that but the $50.00 inspection fee that is just a joke. It has been said that if this goes through the fcc will be invoked to stop this as an illegal tax. Finally to add insult to injury to the working people of Omaha Mayor suttle wants to force city employees to take a 2.5 day furlough to cover the shortfall this includes police and fire personnel also, does this sound like a bad idea to anyone else but me?? I have lived in this town since 1980 I have never heard such a load of elitist bullshit as this. The mayor wants employees of the city to take almost 3 days off work and deprive their families of that income yet he still drives around in a $10,000+ leased suv that was paid for with city funds. The Angry One wishes to know why you need an suv? Are,nt their enough of those things on the roads of Omaha without you driving around in one? Shame on you mr mayor !
