Tampa City Council is meeting this morning with a workshop on the city charter. As usual the council got bogged down with something else, this time an hour-long discussion on hiring a budget analyst as a way of saving money. Several council members not only want to hire an analyst but set up another committee.
Charlie Miranda, as only he can, limited his remarks to saying. “The only way you save money is by not spending it.’’
The council ignored his advice and will kill another hour or so next week figuring out how to spend money to save it.
