And Another Thing!

I forgot to mention that Todd Stroger cast a tiebreaking vote Tuesday on a scheme to have the city borrow $150 million as a bridge until the sales tax increase kicks in and saves the world.

The short term loan may cost as much as $9 million in fees and interest and should be paid back December 2009.

However, as Commissioner Larry Suffredin mentioned in the Trib article, the commissioners weren't told exactly what the fees or interest were going to be or what bond firm would be doing the deal.

How can you asswipes vote for something like this?
