The public can afford a LOT more than just a measly $710 grand.

Chicken feed. How about 53 million from a municipality?

Well I am a boat (yacht?) owner, and that cannot possibly be a picture of the yacht subject of the story. That baby sells for 3 or 4 million easy...heck, for $710K, I'll buy it...

Omni, been reading that story for a few weeks now and what I still can't figure out is how she squeezed that kind of money out of Dixon, population less than 16,000. I understand she was at it for over 20 years and she did have a gift for getting state and federal money but I think we better make her comptroller for the state of Illinois. Just need to keep an eye on her barn.

" ... no evidence of criminal wrongdoing ..."
So in Florida, public funds can be spent without going thru a bidding process?
In Nodak, a "proposal" is OK if the value is under $50K, but anythin' more than that needs to have bids submitted ...
I'm guessin' the law in FL is a lot more lenient on "criminal malfeasance" ...
