were to help fund the recycle program. This service was provided by the city as a service that was part of the property taxes we pay. At no time was the sticker program intended to fully fund the recycle program. Until just

QUINCY, ILL. -- Quincy mayor John Spring is expected to formally announce his bid for Quincy mayor this Monday.
The announcement will take place at 9:30 a.m. at the Abraham Lincoln Monument in Washington Park.
Yet a minute before his "official" announcement, The QHW post a full story.

So Rebel Media brought up a good point yesterday. Where does the slippery slope stop ?
Here's my take on it.
NO TAX DOLLARS FOR NON-PROFITS.
Once you allow one, then you open up the door to allow city influence to dictate just who or what get city tax dollars.
Don't get me wrong, each and every non-profit is more that deserving to be donated to, but where does it stop?

So City Council will vote on yet another bid for replacing traffic signals in town. Only one company bid on it and was like $125 K which was 40%+ over who someone we call an engineer that works for the city.
Now a new "revised" quote comes in $1,500 under the last sole bidder and now our engineer says he compared 23 other IDOT projects.
Where did he pull the first numbers Quincy Firehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10365023574093012801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22011625.post-4699018122230080392011-12-28T19:43:00.000-06:002011-12-28T19:43:34.635-06:00QPD Fundraising
Although I differ in opinion with the Strawman, Reading thru the Blotter looks like to me that the QPD made some money on north 12 street this week. I say good deal. Don't like it, don't speed.

QHW:
First snow turns icy: several cars slide off roads, two rollovers occur
Sounds better than : Central Services gets caught with pants down not prepaired for first snowfall.
Springisms:

Pissed away $6 million on your dream hydro project. Get used to it.

Nothing I like watching on my 60" Flat Screen TV is a flipping Frost Warning that scrolls continuously across the screen for hours.
Like there isn't enough info on the screen, a local station seems to think that we need more.

Local Quncy Media goes for the hat trick in dragging QHS Sports program thru the mud.
First up KHQA.
Then the Whig.
And following the whig, WGEM.
Kevin Haslam should have called the police on this.
Bet he is scared for life.
Suck it up buttercup.
Go play soccer or try cheerleading.

This is typical Democrats using class warfare and scare tactics to shirk responsibility and engage in theatrics.
