Remember, the council at a recent meeting voted to put in a hiring freeze, which we applauded. Additionally, we think, it is a good time to consider if there are positions that might be cut.

How about taking a hard look at out of state, and out of country trips by the mayor, council members and staff. Last year, the mayor took a trip to Europe at our expense, and we're still not sure what, if any benefit was derived from the $11,000 expenditure.
