We in local government get most of our money from the federal government, so we should take their lead and be hapless, blind-sighted and incapable of anticipating crises.
Water & Sewer Maintenance - We don’t know how to anticipate where water and sewer line breaks might occur, so we don’t bother to do that. We usually wait until a road collapses to give us a general idea of where a break has occurred. We make sure we block off all the roads around these work areas for quite some time.
Road Maintenance - We only do road maintenance after we have a water or sewer line break.
Traffic - We asked everyone not to drive. For a while they didn’t listen to us, but lately we think we’re getting through to them.
Road Expansion - Our multi-use mall and apartment developers do most of this, so we try to approve all of their crazy schemes. We don’t like to do road expansion. We just want everyone to drive less.
