The city of Auburn needs to get its priorities straight. They are pouring money down a rat hole and calling it Streetscape while cutting the pay of the firefighters.

Do they really believe the tourists are going to come to town in droves? If so, maybe they can get those same tourists to come put out the fire when it’s their house that’s burning down because the firefighters had to go find other work that pays a living wage to support their families.
