Where your tax dollars go

$330,000.00 and counting. That is approximately how much the city of deadmonton has forked out for snow removal already this year. Yes I did say snow REMOVAL! Amount of snow removed from the streets of Edmonton... Zero... nada... none... That $330,000.00 is just a retainer fee to make sure that the graders will be available in case we do actually have enough snow to remove. Meanwhile those graders are working at other jobs making anywhere from $157.00 to $267.00 per hour just waiting for the city to call them in to push snow around. Any guesses when they will actually have enough snow to call them in to actually work? I'm guessing not before Christmas. By then we will have paid those same grader operators over $700,000.00 not to remove snow from our streets. Good gig if you can get it.

Yes you the tax payers of Edmonton as of October are paying graders not to plow snow. This is the mentality of our elected numb nuts. The same numb nuts that want to jack up our property taxes by over 10%! The same numb nuts that figured they were worth a 21% raise!
