" I have just one question. Can we recall public officials like they did to the California Governor? It appears that they don't want to listen to the voters when they say NO (Turf) and that our taxes right NOW are to high. All they want to do is tax more and spend more.

Example: I was looking at the State budget. Do you know how much they want to spend on Capital Improvement for the state parks? My guess is in the $100 Million range (I didn't add them up). Since this is "Capital Improvements" I assume it does not have anything to do with normal operating costs. So why spend it if we don't have it? Would you go out and put a $50,000 garage onto your home if you didn't have enough to make the house payments? Maybe we should recall some politicians, it might then open their eyes to reality. "

" And you wonder why people move away from Central New York? "

" Speaking of missing out on funds! Maybe if we had that grant money that Mike Long forgot to collect we could leave the gas tax in place for another year! "

" We elect them, they don't listen. Absolutely no concern for anyone except themselves!!!

Voters "think" they make a good decision, but it seems the Auburn City Council are good at messing it all up.

We should start putting all their decisions up for final voter review, basicly let the people vote for any tax increases. The Auburn City Council is notorious for always making things worse!!! What have they done for me lately! NOTHING! "

" I think you should move your energies to this cause rather than field turf. I'm afraid this one will cost you a lot more. You don't even have a yes or no vote on this one. We put all the blame on oil companies for gas prices but look into all the taxes at the pump and to the refiner and wholesaler. "

" Well isn't that just sweet......we can continue to pay 3.29 a gallon if not more now that the city has decided it is missing out on funds like the county decided it was missing out on extra revenue. "
