Corroon warily optimistic in his State of the County

Corroon the liberal is in the ascendancy, and that�s bad. Spending and decision-making in the touchy-feelie liberal mold will lead us into bad investments and loss of many jobs and opportunities and tremendous taxpayer hardships.
We need Corroon the engineer to show up. Careful evaluation of alternatives, using the strict methods and brutal honesty of engineering analysis with solid, independently corroborated data, will set us on the paths of best economy and future real growth and lowest taxpayer burden.
An example is building to super expensive Platinum building codes. The County will pay very high wages to "green" inspectors while having to cut into major programs, including police and fire, and cut back on jobs..it is coming. We can reealize 80% of the green benefit at less than 20% added cost by just having "normal" contractors follow good design and construction management techniques.
Solar-electric instalations are another example. The real costs will all be born by taxpayers and will be higher than utility power, but more stable.
This is not the time to dump tens of million$ into nice-to-have environmental feel-good projects.
