Well, I'm comfortable with saying that I didn't finish this story because I didn't start writing it sooner. I didn't even go out this weekend yet I still found that I didn't give myself enough time to write this...I work way too much.
But I don't want to get a super zero on this so this is what I have so far...

This year isn’t going to be pretty one for the Oshkosh Common Council.

The council is already receiving grief for proposing a $10-per-month garbage pick-up fee, to make up for the money it won’t be able to collect due to the state-imposed property-tax freeze.

“How are we going to pay for things now?”— Was the question revolving around last Thursday’s Oshkosh common council candidates forum.

But because of a one-minute and thirty second time limit imposed on candidate responses, only a very broad discussion of money-saving strategies emerged from the forum.

“We need to do an efficiency study and do well thought-out budget cuts,” candidate Michael Domke said.

In lieu of several budgetary concerns, are also issues regarding recent constructions projects like the $285,000 of city dollars used to purchase floating docks off Leach Amphitheater.

“Where are our spending priorities? ” Dennis McHugh said.
“We spend all this money for a new boat ramp by the amphitheater and our streets are in pathetic condition.”

Many candidates also agreed that a better analysis of the actual wants and needs of the city should be considered.
