This weekend contained mailbox stuffers from Dawn, from Peter--but also from "Building America Committee". Since few people read the "paid for" ads, I think someone needs to highlight this backdoor contribution to Cammarano. Who is the "Building America Committee"? Presumably people who wouldn't help Peter with public support, don't want to appear in ELEC reports, and don't want to observe ELEC limits. And call themselves "Building America", which sure sounds like the development community to me.
As for the charge that Dawn Zimmer caused the tax hike, this is presumably traced to the nonsense that by failing to vote for an illegal, underfunded budget, the council triggered state takeover and thus the tax hike. And who knows, perhaps we could have continued borrowing for another year or two before finances came crashing down--definitely a developer mind set, where if you can just survive, you can get rich. But not a good plan for city finances.
