The city keeps wasting our money

Here we go again.

Why is the Auburn City Council considering charging nonprofit organizations fees for city services and trash collection? Because of its own money mismanagement.

The city manager, John Salomone, has done a lousy job of managing our city. He has proposed budgets to the public that exclude major contracts (like fire and police departments) that still must be paid by the city; and costs for many city employees (including the city manager) are hidden between the lines. These include individual salaries, pensions, expense reports, overtime, stipends and cell phones.
