He who fears criticism is hopeless. Only those who do things are criticized. To hesitate for fear of criticism is cowardly. If our cause is right be not afraid of criticism, advocate it, expound it, and, if need be, fight for it. Critics always have been and always will be, but to the strong minded they are a help rather than a hindrance. Take your part in life’s stage and play your part to the end.

Thomas Jefferson

Politicians cannot prioritize this colossal list of projects and can never do them right. We need to limit our infrastructure fixes to those we need and afford. We are only about one million people. $32 billion to $40 billion means that everyone owes $32,000 to $40,000 of State and City government debt. Plus interest.

That's over $150,000 for a family of four. That's crazy!

Elect an engineer to control the costs and ensure proper planning and priorities for our City.
