It's 'Deja Vu' all over again with Mayor Sam 'the Big Lie' Joshi's 2024 Muni Budget

 Well, here we go again playing hide and seek with the damage he's proposing to do to your pocket book with all his Ridiculous $pending for 2024. 

You remember he did the same thing last year delaying introducing the Muni-budget until after he got all his 'Emergency Appropriations' in and to make matters worse, he claimed 'His budget projects the first property tax cut for Edison homeowners since 1988' - when it actually came with a nearly 3% Muni tax-hike.

Barf! - it's actions like this that demonstrate he lacks the maturity for the position he holds.

After four months into 2024 we still haven't seen his Muni-budget for 2024 and you're not going to see it at tonight's Combined Council Meeting. What you will see is a serious bunch of 'Emergency Appropriations for 2024' which should make you look up and say what the heck is going on here.

According to the agenda, here's where we stand without a Muni-budget for 2024:

Not for nothing, if you take these numbers at face value, when you already $pent 57% of last year's Muni-budget and it's only April - you gotta know there will be Muni-tax increases coming your way for 2024.

Sad part is they don't have the Courage or Respect (albeit their bogus claims of transparency) for the People of Edison to put their plans on the table for public scrutiny - so they delay putting out their Muni-budget with the hope you're not paying attention - while the Council dutifully approves all the 'Emergency Appropriations tonight.'

Now, it wouldn't bother me so much if we had a Council that actually understood they Control the purse strings and can put the breaks on what's sure to be some more Ridiculous $pending in this hidden Muni-budget but we Don't have such a Council. We have a bunch of Enablers for an inept stewardship who serve the interests of the 'Malleable Marionette's' puppet masters. So, when you have no Checks & Balances - You Don't have any Representation at the Muni-tax table or any table for that matter.

Anyhoo, hard to be surprised with anything from the inept stewardship of Mayor Sam 'the Big Lie' Joshi, aka Mr. Shrink-flation, the Malleable Marionette, the Event Planner, the Weathervane Millennial, Big-boy pants, Sam the Film-flam Man and his Enabling Council but we can always be Proud, with all this political buffoonery going on, that we live in Edison - Permanent Home of the 2017 Racist Flyer.
