For all of you who have been following the saga over the city's budget crisis, this is indeed the legislation that was needed for the City of Philadelphia to avoid the "Doomsday" Plan C budget scenario, which would have resulted in the layoff of 3,000 city employees and forced the closing of all libraries. <br />We are enormously grateful to everyone who advocated on our behalf. More than 2,000 letters to state legislators were collected from our libraries, and countless others made calls and sent emails underscoring how important public libraries are to the economic, educational and social life of our city. We also thank our incredible library staff, who despite the threat of imminent layoffs continued to provide excellent service to the thousands of people who use one of the 54 libraries in our system. <br /> <br />Breaking News - Legislation to keep libraries open passes!

I have the same TV I have had the last 10 years, the same car since 2003. I have a savings account and little credit card debt. I have a mortgage, but no home equity line. My wife says I am frugal, I say I am cheap. Yet, we save little money each year since 2006 actually when our taxes jumped. <br /> <br />Funny enough though the town and state think I am rich and if I had adhered to their standards of spending I could have bought a new TV and Car. As my taxes went up over 8,000 since 2006, my sewer bill went from 84 to 240 this quarter and I have not had a raise in 2 years. So apparently while I am trying to save the town is treating me like daddy warbucks. So what if I have less money, the town dictates spending and I have to comply or leave my home. However, if I am trying to save and get concerned about town and state spending because it's putting me and a lot of others in the danger zone I am an evil conservative. <br /> <br />So if you worry about your income or spending your an evil conservative. If you're a liberal then you have to enjoy spending regardless of the harm it does to you personally and doesn't matter if you control it or not. If you're an evil conservative you hate COAH. If you're a liberal you have to love COAH regardless of what it does to our town. According to those standards which is what was stated above about anal rentative conservatives then even the most ardent liberals I know in town are evil conservatives because they are concerned about their money and town spending and they oppose COAH. <br /> <br />Although, I would gladly change my tune if someone would give me a job with so much money that I don't care where it goes.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue, Sep 15 2009, 7:54 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: More on the library</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">...last I checked I wasn't throwing money away on the new plasma TV, the new car, or the other items that would be great to have because I want to live within my means.
