Suttle and Lobbyists

Post by RegisResident »

Anyone see the story on the lobbyist that Suttle has hired to keep the sales tax on the part of the MUD bill that pays for the sewer project? $5,000 apparently I'm in the wrong business. If the city is in a budget crisis, Suttle really needs to tighten his purse strings before he comes asking me for more money.

$5000 / Week, if you use a standard 40 hr / week works out to $125 / Hr. Not saying that the City should pay this rate but that rate as a bill out is common for some professional or consulting services. Now if they bill for 40 hr and put in 15 that is a totally different story too.
For the record  NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER    !!!!!!!

It was a necessary expense to fight tax cuts. Any tax cuts in Omaha right now would be detrimental to the city's budget.
