The Great Omaha Pothole fest of 2010

Greetings true followers, the angry one has a new rant in store for all of you. The Subject for todays rant is POTHOLES and why we hate them.. This situation is totally intolerable I mean I understand it is winter but comon mr mayor stop tryint to figure out how your gonna pad your own paycheck or your buddies on the police dept pensions and fix the goddamn streets allready. I took a friend from cedar rapids out to the groundhog prom on Saturday nite and to a club located in midtown and going down dodge st I must have dodged 50 pot holes. I dropped my front wheel into one that you could have bathed in. My friend commented that Omaha's potholes are "so much worse" than the ones they deal with in Cedar Rapids. I am sure that Omaha is not the only city that has this problem but comon, we have bombs that can level a city but we cant come up with a tar/asphalt that works in cold weather with out cracking or coming up when a car drives over it this is completely asinine. MAYOR SUTTLE...GET OFF YOUR ASS AND FIX THIS!!!!! Here's a suggestion for the Omaha city employees union hold the mayors paycheck indefinitely until this gets resolved I guarantee the problem would be fixed faster than you could say fucking jack Robinson, that,s for sure. I know that with the city budget being in the toilet like it is the mayor has other priorities right now, at least until he breaks an axle in a pothole that is. That seems to be the way anything gets done around here citizens like you and I true followers have to wait but once the high and mighty in Omaha get inconvenienced then something gets done. Maybe we should all not pay our omaha property taxes until some of this crap gets addressed they probably would not like that. Oh well screw them

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 !
