Nah man. Sucks to have to wake up and drag yourself into work. It's cold as shit and Christmas Eve on a Saturday. Not everyone celebrates but many do and workin on Christmas is like cartoonishly shitty. I'm sure people can find somethin to do for a day who don't celebrate.

I've worked the Christmas Eve shift at cafes that are open til noon on holidays and it's shitty. Everyone is with family or friends or just hangin out while you're workin you're ass off so people can have coffee or a bagel.

I can assure you that the city has very existent tax base which has actually been growing in recent years (see the redevelopment and increased property values in the previous wastelands that are now high growth areas - Manchester & Scott’s Addition - as an example). The city has wasted more money swinging for home run big projects (that fail to deliver a return above the investment or never made it beyond the expensive ‘study’ phase) which has reduced funds and oversight available for routine maintenance. Stoney was elected initially with the promise of getting the boring stuff (ie, routine maintenance) done more efficiently - to which he has successfully failed in spectacular fashion.
