To the Editor:
The new city budget will hinder the people most in need and bring dismay to our city residents and the communities throughout the city.
The way the city manager allocated the budget seems only to enrich certain pockets while taking away from those, aging gracefully, who have worked hard and helped build our city. It’s a matter of moral standards and politics lacking compassion. Stripping valuable services and programs from our seniors only speaks for years to come as we all gracefully reach a stage of golden years. While City Manager Rashad Young — in his position only for a short time — seeks a raise, he is unsympathetic towards our seniors. This is a matter of balance and fairness.
