Ok, I live in a weird city by the standards of most of the country.

It's got a AAA bond rating, I think it has 3 years of operating expenses set aside as cash. It did not have to reduce spending during the economic downturn, it simply did not save as much.

During the 1st round of free money bailouts from the Federal government, it doled out the money to some of the city's small businesses. I guess some people questioned how these amounts were determined. I mean the city tried to do right and they added utility payment funds to residents who lost their jobs so they wouldn't have to worry about power and water bills.

During Biden's bailout of municipalities, they got some more free money. The Federal government put in a stipulation that the city couldn't use it to reduce taxes. Since they got grief for just passing it out last time, this time they gave bonuses to all city employees. Good for them.

Anyone have stories on what their municipality did with the free money?

My old hippie roommate from Venice bought a ranch outside a small town in the high desert outside of LA. Somebody told him he should run for city council. Immediately, the mayor and opposition labeled him 'an immoral fag' because he was single and not who they wanted.

His response was to go a City Council meeting and tell the mayor to bring his daughter out for him to fuck in front of the City Council to prove he wasn't a fag. i gather he won the seat.

But still schools don't have enough money and they have to do fundraisers.

They never will. Fundraising never ends. Neither does budgeting more to spend. It's an endless cycle. We do the same shit with sports. They want our cash or time to volunteer. I choose cash.
