Metro,, don't give them any ideas.. I am sure the mayor is drooling at the the thought of this money and will proceed with more wasteful spending. I don't believe the city has ever faced such a budget crisis in the city's history, and a lot of it has to do with her, and liking the 'pretty' things she can not pay for.
