I’d be lying if I said I was surprised…


As previously mentioned, the City of Dallas is spending $11.7 million on restoring the fountains up and down the esplanade at Fair Park. The fountains will waltz to music much like the ones at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.

However, the most optimistic of city budget proposals for 2009-2010 does not have enough money to actually run the fountains. At all.

And I’m sure having the fountains sit idle for (at least) one year won’t adversely affect them, right?

Sigh…

What's the point? Governments really need to start thinking long term...
