The Editor,
Well now, the overpaid, incompetent Mandarins that inhabit city hall, have managed to finagle another couple of million out of us. They'll probably want a raise.
If the current city council knew which way was up, this stupidity wouldn't last longer than it took to issue "separation notices." But that wont happen with the Old Boys Club we have in the Taj Mahal (city hall) on No. 3 Road.
Now that they have this booty in hand, how about using some of it to do some traffic policing in the City of Richmond?
Twice in the last two days, I, an old sucker of advanced years, have had to dodge in marked crosswalks, due to the idiots we have on the Richmond roads!
It's not really a fair fight, a couple of tons of speeding metal, versus 160 pounds of skin and bones! But I am completely teed off. These self-centered, clueless jerks are operating their vehicles as if they were the only person in the whole damn town!
Listen, Richmond council, if you have any say in the policing we are paying for, get the police out on the roads in Richmond. It may not cure all the problems we face in traffic, but at least a few dozen a day could meet their nemesis, and have to cough up a good chunk of cash for their heedless actions,
