I am the greetest!
Mayor Bates commissioned a report on how good Berkeley was at providing services. Shockingly, the report says "Berkeley is really really good!!!! Vote for more taxes!!!!"
“They have numbers like swimming pools per resident. What does that mean?” [former mayor Shirley] Dean said. “You can’t just take something out of the blue—they don’t give the kinds of things a serious study would lay out.”
Well, that's good news. The weather's nice, I think I'll go for a swim.
Berkeley ranked above average for most services, including number of libraries, fire fighters and homeless shelter beds, and approximately average on total expenditures.
Whew, that's a relief. I'm glad we don't have a homeless problem here, what with all those homeless shelter beds. (smashing self in face continues) Thanks, Mayor Bates! Did you study number of stolen newspapers?
