The tasty bugs must be under the railing . . .

Has anyone seen council members or the mayor riding the new Columbia Trolley? If you're pushing residents to support it you need to do so also.

A challenge to Columbia residents:

Add your "spring" and "fall" or municipal and school taxes to arrive at your "total" taxes. Divide that number by 12 to see how much you are turning over to this town every month.

Probably anywhere from 200-600 dollars a month...every single month as long as you live in this borough. We are ALL renters. We are renting from the borough. Even long after your mortgage is paid you continue to rent from the borough.

Ask yourself if Columbia is giving you your money's worth.

In example:
How long has it been since homeowners and businesses on Walnut Street have had a smooth, even mildly decent street?

As borough officials throw money at a variety of projects, is your quality of life here acceptable?
