2023 Muni-budget $170.2m and 'Joshi's Column B Team' - imperfect together

 Well, you have to appreciate the dubious claim by Mayor Sam 'Shrink-flation' Joshi, aka Big-boy pants, the Event Planner, the Weathervane Millennial and Sam the Flim-flam man that he has a team.

Does anyone actually believe that Richard Brescher, Ajay Patil and even Joe 'the Florist' Coyle, aka Mayor of Clara Barton, Joe 180 are on his team? They're only there for the Dem-party line so they can get reelected.

The only thing coalescing around Mr. Shrink-flation are his Puppet-masters from the county who hand-picked him and the Stench Still hanging over this town from the 2017 Racist Flyer.

So, the question remains what the 'Joshi Column B' team will do when reviewing Joshi's $170.2 million Muni-budget for 2023 that comes with a tax increase of nearly 3% when they're up for reelection?

Budgets in general, are just a reflection of someone's values. This budget, if looked at in its entirety, clearly is built to lay the groundwork for the next two years when Mr. Shrink-flation' comes up for reelection.

Its 2023 $pending, tax increase, cap-bank and reserve maneuvering and lack of transparency is not in the best interest of the People of Edison - it's in the best interests of Mr. Shrink-flation.

While I recognize this is an election year, even the 'Column B' team has to pretend to do their due diligence and should not be beholding to the misguided political visions and ambitions of an ill-prepared, ill-qualified stewardship that demonstrably lacks the maturity, discipline, transparency, strengths, demeanor, characteristics, experience or political acumen required to be the Mayor of a town the size of Edison.

It's a simple question for them since they already have the line in November.

Does the 2023 Muni-budget benefit the People of Edison or does it lay the groundwork for a Political neophyte trying to climb up the politically corrupt Dem-party ladder on the backs of the People of Edison with smoke and mirrors?

This budget needs a major overhaul and what they do will tell you who is on your side and who just wants to serve their own self-interests in the Dem-party pecking order.

Anyhoo, it's your money they're using for political purposes and wasting, so you might want to pay attention and watch who says what on 'Column B' when this budget comes up for Council adoption.
