McKinney has no idea what he, uh, she, is doing. These guys are basing their spending on bloated sales tax projections, which is what has caused many, many, many budget problems in the past. Dumb is as dumb does. Crooked Anders is especially slow. #Corrupt,Inept,Worthless

Mayor said they are doing a wonderful job. Does that include mowing grass?

Fund general services.

Decatur Daly should require first and last names be posted in these comments. Too much Slander.

$27 million Sales tax revenue & $9.5 million in other revenue . Decatur daily need to ask what is break up of other revenue is since it is more than 1/3rd of Sales tax revenue.

Decatur Dumb Mayor said " We appreciate the work they do for City " What work ? I have seen most of the time , 3 city worker smoking Cig. while one person ( mostly young Black) paving,digging .

Secondly, City workers are not working free that we must appreciate their work.

If you asked City workers will you work for private sectors if you are offered 15 percent more pay & benefit & almost all will say no . why they have to work & earned their pay if they work in private sector.

"Other" usually includes business license fees!

What happened with the railroad depot? They going to buy it or not?
