Land purchase unwise
Isn't it very, very unwise for the City Council to be spending $360,000 it doesn't really have for the University land it doesn't really need? The city budget has a $450,000 gap in the 2004 budget. The chip business is coming to a close, probably within a year or two, with $500,000 drop in community/borough revenues and a loss of some 150 jobs.

Why is it that shortly after a major annex upset of the community due to the inability to manage the budget, that the council still must walk the tax payers on the financial brink?
