The City always loses money on this Hog Waddle event. Funny on how they have money to spend on country music singers yet our streets are in disarray. Unless you live in la gallina neighborhood where the city has fixed 5 or 6 streets recently . No more raises for the city manager and stop throwing money away on events . Fix the streets and liftstations. I blame the city manager for being incompetent and the ignorance of the city commission. The commission let’s the city manager run the city anyway he sees fit. Yet it’s the citizens that run the city and the commission is our voice. Get rid of the city manager and vote our incompetent commission out. Ask for open records and see how much money the city actually loses on this event. And then look at the streets paved in la gallina. And then looking into our commission incompetence.
