Fire the fireman and raise the flags,their pretty.!

I know you probably have pulled up to a stop sign and looked over at the streetlight pole to see a"PRETTY "Casselberry banner /flag hanging from the light pole?If you have yet you will start noticing them on many poles.
Do I not know where I am that I need a Flag to inform me that I am in Casselberry?I know where I am all of the time so I can say at least for me I don't need the Flags/Banners.
They are pretty, look real nice,NICE AND EXPENSIVE! how MUCH DID THEY SPEND ON FLAGS?Oh, now you are starting see where our tax dollars are being spent[WASTED].
Now,because they had to put so many flags up I think we can see the real reason the Mayor,city Manager and Commission spent close to $65,000.00 on a bucket truck of which both we didn't need to spend TAX DOLLARS ON.I have not found out how much all of the flags,brackets,man hours,management hours,decision making time spent went into this project,but with the bucket truck and all installed I would adventure to say between$75,000.00-$100,000.00 conservatively.How is this lowering our tax's/tax burden and millage rates? It doesn't.Firing firefighters so you have money to buy flags and purchasing a bucket truck instead of a fire truck,sure makes so much sense to the Mayor! HAH,While someones home is burning down NOTICE THE PRETTY FLAGS it was money well spent.
Oh, We could have purchase a bucket truck that is sitting in the old Thurstons car lot for$40,000.00,had a better bigger truck,saved $25,000.00 but heck I want to drive a Bentley and do you see me driving one? It is our Tax Dollars they waste, speak up at a commission meeting and ask how much this all cost the tax payers, they won't ell you!. Rev. Jef
