1)Wyoming can spend nearly 100 million dollars on water supply improvements - but they can't find the $750,000 per year to restore the fire department and they can't find the $350,000 to restore to the police department.
2) All the city vehicles also need to be put under lock and key. Multiple employees are taking advantage of these vehicles and city paid gas.
3) The inspections department needs to crack down as well and get after all these rental houses that make the town look like garbage. Several in our neighborhood off of Clyde Park have not been inspected in years.
4) We warned the city of Wyoming that their new city hall, new police station, and extravagent park expenses would catch up with them. Some lack of budgeting never accounted for the fact that these buildings with lots of wasted space such as the police station costs more for maintenance.
5) Wyoming's Zoning Department is anti-business and is more concerned with adding more rules and enforcing existing ones - That is why companies like Nelson Metals went out of business. Look at all the fuss they created over the thrift store on 36th Street. They asked for neighbor's opinions and failed to record several that were submitted.
6) A survey needs to be released neighborhood by neighborhood in Wyoming detailing owner housing versus rental housing - Property exemptions need to be removed for rental housing - something that is not being reinforced.
7) Wyoming has tens of thousands of dollars in unpaid court fees that would result in being able to add officers and fire personnel.
8) Wyoming's center of the road gardening and expensive sprinkler system needs to be cut out. What does that cost anyways?
9) Public Works leaf and rubbish drop-off sight is abused by landscapers with multiple drop-offs dumping the cost onto the city. This was supposed to be for the general public, not to support our landscapers.
10) Why does Wyoming use a company in OHIO to collect their utility payments? Tell me - can no one really do that locally for less?
11) Wyoming had an option to get a bigger share of Rivertown Mall to expand the tax base and blew it big time.
12) Wyoming auctioned off the spare land along Gezon way too quickly allowing others to get rich at the expense of the city. Those private buyers who held onto the land are now selling it to medical providers for a mint.
13) Wyoming has a huge printing budget - with the Wyoming quarterly brochure with a letter from the mayor. Have you heard of email and electronically opting out of these expensive and wasterful mailings? 72,000
14)$200,000 for the cable tv commission? Where is this money going? Places like AT&T and other cable companies are killing each other for business. Can we say deregulation?
15)$457.000 rental per year for the court system? Why didn't the city have this built into the new city hall or police station?
16)Every budget of city department shows thousands and tens of thousands of dollars in equipment rental fees - what is this and why are we doing it
SPEND SOME TIME LOOKING AT THE BUDGET AND THE MONEY CAN BE FOUND.
14) City sidewalk plow? HUH? I grew up in Chicago and in the Blizzard Zone out west - never had it never needed it
15) Almost 5% of the city's budget is for debt and financing - it is time to refinance that while interest rates are low.

Gemini, Will you PLEASE be our next Mayor. I totally agree with you. My pet peeve is #10 too. I have been griping about that one since we moved here 5 years ago. Why can't they do the billing here instead of paying a billing company in Ohio? I am courious how much they pay for that. We drop our utility & taxes off at the city offices. And as far as #14 goes, they can quit the sidewalk snow plow anytime. All they do here is tear up some of the lawns. You are so right though.

What has changed in the last 10 years? 10-15 years ago, Wyoming was very whitebread, and crime was low.
In the last 10 years we've had a huge influx of hispanic immigrants, most of whom can't even speak English, and our crime has risen.
You do the math.

Gee, if a person doesn't have insurance, I wonder why that is?
Could it be that they can't afford it?
Put them away and throw away the key, those losers.
There, but for the grace of God, you you.
