Father, husband, employee with City of Omaha Public Works. I will not share opinions about work, but enjoy providing facts to educate when I can do this.
@realdogenews No, how would we fund the government. Simply the tax code, remit a fair share per citizen to fund services that the government provides. Unless you can answer the question of how would you fund the govt without income taxes, im opposed to this. Thanks
@Jim_Vokal A challenge faced by local governments that makes it difficult to control spending is government mandated programs passed down to local governments from federal or state government. These unfunded mandates result in higher taxes or user fees. How can this issue be addressed.
@emfundertaker And you know I really enjoy the part of my job that involves stormwater mana, we do our best to help protect people and property, and to promote water quality of our water bodies
@emfundertaker And it’s also very important in the older parts of the city as well, those areas developed before rules were in place that exist today that regulate runoff from impervious surfaces. Flash flooding will get worse with climate change
@anthony_schutz I’m not a lawyer I’m a Civil Engineer, I think water law, water rights, policies that have been in place for decades and are very different in eastern and western US, is an absolutely fascinating subject.
