‘Naysayers’ needed to battle boondoggles
The Observer for years has called those who disagree with its position on spending or taxes “naysayers.” But more naysayers are needed to say no to giveaways of arenas to billionaire owners, to massive bond issues that plunge the county into more debt, to light rail boondoggles, to ill-conceived art programs, to mismanaged school spending, to feel-good programs that don’t produce results and to foolish business grants.
