Bandy Should Spend His Own Money

The latest brainchild of Eagle Mayor Bandy and Co. is to spend $3,000
a month of our tax dollars to tell us what a great job they are doing.
This is part of their ongoing effort to improve “communication” at
Eagle City Hall.

While the Mayor is free to highlight his accomplishments, he should
pay for it from his own campaign funds, not our taxes. This is clearly
political advertising not informational.

Eagle is served by three newspapers, four television stations, two
local magazines, a number of radio stations, and its own website.
Local media practically begs the Mayor to explain what is going on.
Instead, the City wants it’s own Pravda to insure the public gets the
party line.

The Mayor feels that the city’s recent failure to impose a $7.2
million tax on citizens was a “communications” failure. There was no
communication failure; there was a listening failure. Citizens were
loud and clear: No new taxes without a bond election.

If you think the city should spend our tax dollars on legitimate
government functions instead of promoting itself, please call 939-6813
an tell the mayor to spend his own money if he wants to advertise himself.
