City leaders warn of Augusta Land Bank overspending
ALTHOUGH, THEY DO AN AUDIT EVERY YEAR, HE SAYS THe CONVERSATION IS NOT OVER. moving forward, he believes CITY EMPLOYEES DO NOT NEED TO BE VOTING MEMBERS ON BOARDS. “REALLY THE COMMISSION HAS NO SAY IN WHAT THEY DO AND THAT WAY PRETTY EVIDENT IN WHAT THEY’RE DOING,” Frantom says. “SO, ALL THAT WE CAN DO IS CHANGE OUT BOARD MEMBERS AND HAVE THAT DISCUSSION. OVERALL, I JUST WANT US TO BE BETTER. I THINK WE’RE BETTER THAN THIS, I THINK IF WE’RE SPENDING MONEY ON ALCOHOL THE WAY THEY DID. IT DOESN’T SEND THE RIGHT MESSAGE TO THE CITIZENS.”
