If You Build It, City Employees Will Fill It.

From today's Daily Pilot is the most basic, most simple statement of common sense as to why Newport Beach doesn't need a new White Elephant:

"Greenlight Residents’ Group leader Phil Arst is now suggesting — as he did several years ago — that a new city hall might not be needed if officials would increase efficiency and contract out more city services."

Duh.

Here's my previous discussion, and debate with Councilman Curry from July. Here's an earlier post from June. My data came directly from the City's websites.

My question is why don't they compare the City Employee load to Huntington Beach's? More people visit HB, more people live in HB, more people work in HB, they have a Harbor and a Beach, yet their City Employee to resident ratio is much lower than ours. Does their Democrat controlled City Council know something that our Republican City Council doesn't?

Imagine that.
