At a public forum on the City budget, Mayor Jim Suttle uses scare tactics to get his way - nearly $50 million in new taxes.

"No one will answer" your 911 calls if the Mayor's bloated budget is not approved, Suttle tells the crowd.

Scaring people with threats to their personal safety if they do not fork over more cash is bad government. It is unethical. It is extortion. It is gangster government.

The truth is Jim Suttle's budget asks for $7 Million in pay increases to police and fire fighters.

$1.2 Million for civilian pay increases.

$2.2 Million more for marketing Omaha.

And key Suttle administration officials will say huge raises as well.

The Jim Suttle budget is not about saving 'key services' it is about awarding his pet projects with your money and continuing a track record of inefficiency.
