Augusta runs city services on just 48% of budget

I wonder how many residents know that the city of Augusta is on run on 48 percent of the city budget. The remaining 52 percent is for the Augusta School Department, which, of course, is controlled by the school board and superintendent. The same school board hired a new principal for the Vo-Tech center for a salary of $81,000 per year, making two principals and three assistant principals for that building. Coincidentally, that is the same amount to open Bicentenial Nature Park and fill a part-time Augusta police officer position.

LETTER OF THE WEEK: Roads, bridges are bad, getting worse every year

The Legislature and the governor hate the idea of spending more money, especially obtained by increasing taxes, fees or borrowing. I have to ask, however, have they driven on our roads lately?
