Municipal finance is hard

From Tasha Boerner-Horvath's newsletter:
We have the highest bond rating of AA+!

[...]

Because we have followed good fiscal practices we received a bond rating from Standard & Poor [sic] of AA+ — the highest a city can receive.
That's news to Standard & Poor's.   But we're sure she'll be able to trust everything else staff tells her.

  1. I see what you did there with the anchor tags. Clever.

  2. She's all over the place! I can't believe we actually voted for her. Have you talked to her (I have)? I can't understand anything she says.

  3. Tasha BH is parroting Lisa Shaffer. Can she think independently?

    I've talked with her. Or better, she talked with me. I hardly got a word in. Her talking in non-stop and hard to understand.

  4. She's another self-centered advocate with a personal agenda. If you don't agree with her, too bad.

  5. All bonds are in the greatest bubble ever, when that bubble bursts all markets will crash. Live debt free.

  8. Tasha needs to look up the word succinct. It could serve her and us well.

    Can the public insist on a time limitation for council members who love the sound of their own voice, while the public is squirming uncomfortably or nodding off like some on the dais were seen to be doing.

    Succinct. May it please be so in the future, Tasha.

  9. City Attorney Sabine fell asleep on the dais at the Monday meeting while Tasha BH was droning on. Mayor and City Manager seemed to notice it. At one point a lot of the audience got up and left.

  10. 7:29am That impulse to walk out while Tasha droned on and on and on and on, was hard to resist. Lets hope she watched her own performance and bought a clue on how to limit her comments in the future. Please, pretty please. Just get to the point and be done with it.

  11. I was there. She was fine. If you want to be entertained, LaPaloma is across the street.

    1. She's not fine. She speaks in a stream of consciousness fashion that clouds whatever point it is she's trying to make and ends up adding nothing.

      She'd be better served thinking first and formulating her thoughts before spewing.

      One of her fellow council members asked her a question the other night and after a convoluted response, was prompted "is that a yes or no?" and she said "yes." What was wrong with a one-word answer in the first place?

      She needs to check herself.

    2. Better yet. Make it a campaign issue and run against her, 1:25.

      Do you even lift, Bro?

    3. Try reading her newsletter.

      It's a good thing she puts a bullet-point summary at the top.

    4. I lift plenty, bro, and I have ears and can hear she's more in love with the sound of her own voice than in listening to those who elected her.

      What are you missing here? You really think she adds value with her endless blathering?
