Greetings, Gazette Editorial Board and all—
Gazette Reporter Rick Smith got it right. Cedar Rapids streets have been mismanaged into such “awful” shape voters had no choice but to swallow City Hall corruption and pass an unneeded $180 million sales tax increase–in the dismal hopes Corbett and his pals would actually fix the streets.
Gloating Corbett and his pals are reminded they spent nearly $700,000 and won only 1 out of 3—and the 62% vote was far short of 67% needed to pass a bond issue to fix the streets.
Does this mean Corbett and his pals will clean up their acts? Not likely, is the best answer at this time!
They and others of their ilk in Marion, must be watched much more closely than in the past!!
RESOLVING THE INTEGRITY DIVIDE REQUIRES CITY HALL LEADERSHIP LIKE CEDAR RAPIDS HASN’T SEEN!
The Gazette is a ‘business’ on the east side of the river, and is now aware of the problem. Will it now use the word “integrity”?
