Fuzzy Math

start
The new audit is finally out....and (according to our "proven financial manager") everything is just rosy. In fact, things are getting better! Wow!

So, let me see if I've got this right: out of the 169 towns in Connecticut, West Haven is the ONLY town without an operating budget problem? Golly-Gee!

Maybe Picard should go to Hartford (or to California) and toss some of his "special financial fairy dust" on those governments' problems!

Or maybe, just maybe, we're being fed a load of crap.

Maybe, just maybe, this audit was, um, "tailored" to help Picard's re-election campaign. And guess who'll pay for this? Picard won't - he doesn't pay any City property taxes.

Update: The Register reports that our Grand List dropped by $14,000,000.00...even so, City Hall is still singing "Don't Worry - Be Happy". Sure - West Haven is going to lose over $500,000.00 in tax income, but no prob, peeps!
