Ellen Moyer is directly responsible for bankrupting this city.

People can think about that as she gets this award and the the Back Creek Nature Park is named after her.

People can think about that as they fork over substantially higher taxes this year to pay for complete lack of financial stewardship as Mayor.

People can think about that as the City “borrows” $10,000,000 just to keep the lights on, when Moyer blew $5,000,000 on the Market House and $16,000,000 on a health club she named after Pip Moyer.

People can think about that when they drive by our condemned Public Works building, and we have no money to rebuild it.

People can think about that when they turn on the faucet and no water comes out, because our ancient water plant could literally fail any day.

People can think about that when a substantial amount of their city taxes go to paying the massive debt Moyer generated and the higher cost of that debt, because the city’s credit rating has fallen.

People can think about that when the City tries to deal with $43,000,000 in unfunded obligations Moyer created, like enhanced city employee benefits.

People can think about that when they skimp at the grocery store, because their city taxes went up to pay for things like bicycle master plans and sea level rise studies.

People can think about that when Moyer gets this award by using YOUR money friviously to pursue her personal environmental interests, while critical city services were left to decay.

The list goes on and on, yet Mayor Cohen is “pleased” to announce this award. It’s simply surreal.
