Mayor Rivera are you listening?

If you're a resident of Colorado Springs you know the economy has hit the city hard. You also know that the Mayor and City Council have done a terrible job navigating us through these tough times. Below are some ideas that might help the Council come election time.

1. Hire part time employees to dump trash and give them no benefits. 
2. Street lights were put in for a reason. Sure there are some areas where we have an excess of lighting, but get a plan together before going out and randomly shutting lights off. 
3. Why can't the small neighborhood parks be turned over to the neighborhood developers to maintain?
4. 20% pay cut to all city employees earning over 75 thousand a year.
5. Sell off enterprises there is no need for the tax payers to operate golf courses, hospitals, etc
6. Lowest possible tax rate and fees to any business willing to move into, remodel, rebuild an abandoned location.
7. As and encouragement to tourism no sales tax to anyone who can show proof of residence in another state. 
8. Lowest possible tax rate to industry. Industry brings workers who buy homes, food, clothing, etc. We need more than just the military to maintain our economy.
