SHHHH! While we listen to words of wisdom from a wise man.
Conscience is the light of the Soul that burns within the chambers of our psychological heart. It is as real as life is. It raises the voice in protest whenever anything is thought of or done contrary to the righteousness. Conscience is a form of truth that has been transferred through our genetic stock in the form of the knowledge of our own acts and feelings as right or wrong. A virtuous and courageous person can alone use the instrument of conscience. He or she can alone hear the inner voice of the soul clearly. In a wicked person this faculty is absent. The sensitive nature of his / her conscience has been destroyed by sin or corruption. Hence he or she is unable to discriminate right from wrong. Those who are leading organizations, business enterprises, institutions and governments should develop this virtue of the ability to use their own conscience. This wisdom of using the clean conscience will enable them to enjoy the freedom.
Dr APJ Kalam, President of India given during the inauguration of the seminar on “THE EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION ON GOOD GOVERNANCE AND HUMAN RIGHTS

so Bob, are you advocating something here? Too much money? not enough money? don't like that certain places are getting more than others? your favorite charity got shafted? what's the issue?
They should gave one million dollars. What they gave is just little drop in bucket. For years of going without money. All the shelter are full and run out of money. Here is a a little drop of money. To keep open until holidays are over. Throw the people out onto
the streets and live.
We need to show that we going goods with taxeprayer money. And will ask for 6.5% increase on proprety taxes. WOW. I feel good about paying more taxes. To help the needly. Forget that I can not make my house payment or heating bill. But i will sure pay my taxes.
I don't see Repke on the list. He must have fallen from grace with the DFL. Wonder how he's going to live now?
OK guys, this is out of the 2008 budget, monies you were already taxed for. This is a small pot of money that was put aside for emergencies. Believe it or not, the shelters are in trouble.

States Budget apparantly 4 BILLION in DEBT? You figure. Liars Figure,and Figures Lie
WHAT ABOUT THE 7 MILLION FOR ORDWAY? CITY LOANS WITHOUT INTEREST OR PAYBACKS?? IS THE CITY OF ST.PAUL BANKRUPT?
Budgets, budgets, budgets...
One of the things that is hard to rap your head around is that all money isn't created equally. When you are looking at the monies that the City spends, most of the monies are not from your property taxes, they are Federal and State pass through monies (from your income taxes) designated by the Fed or the State for particular purposes. You can't take state road dollars and spend them on the homeless. You can't take Federal CDBG monies and pay a fire fighter with them. Most of the monies the City spends in its budget is designated for particular purposes.
We have a 1/2 cent sales tax that is restricted by the State to be used for capital (bricks and mortar) projects... you can't feed the poor with it. You can loan it to the Ordway to rehab the building.
I know it is easy to bitch about the City's budget because they are the one's closest to home, but most of the City's problem is that the Fed's and the State determined years ago that the way to tighten their belts was to stop spending your income taxes on taking care of the cities.
Under the Rovian GOP philosophy all of the cities are so "blue" (vote DFL) there is no reason to give them any resources. So, building a bridge to nowhere (in remote rural areas) is a good thing, or adding an extra lane on a freeway in the suburbs is a good thing because the monies support their voters but there is no need to designate monies to repairing infrastructure in the cities, or feeding or educating the poor, because they don't GOP anyway.
So, times are tough in all cities and all local governments have had to raise property taxes.
