The city raised your property taxes. Roads and a new city hall, they said. You believed them. You paid.

Spring paving started today.

Mayor Lynn Sebourn's neighborhood is first.

Not a neighborhood picked by a public process. Not a street most residents would have guessed was first in line. A Facebook post went up this morning, and the Mayor's road is where the trucks are headed.

The city hall they promised you? Silent. No timeline. No budget. No update. What they did manage to find was nearly $1 million for a failing airport that was never part of the pitch.

They couldn't tell you when your city hall was coming. They couldn't tell you how streets get prioritized. But they could get a crew out to the Mayor's neighborhood first thing in the spring.

Your money. Their streets. How convenient.
