I never said I was talking about "a simple household budget.... ". Fiscal responsibility entails doing the proper research and planning to produce a credible plan and attendant budget. Yes there will be some unforeseen problems which is why there should be a contingency plan. This boondoggle is way beyond any kind of planning and the price has tripled with no end in sight. We still have no clear costs for annual operations and maintenance. Responsible civic leaders would have put a check on this spendthrift policy of HART's until there were real figures and an actual plan that made fiscal sense in place...... Not a continuous drain on our limited resources, short-changing city services and constantly wielding the threat of raising our property taxes if the citizens don't knuckle under!!!
