Have we placed the cart before the horse before?

Per a previous practice of moving comments to the front. The comment below appears to warrant comment. Being that it was itself a comment others may not have been able to consider it. It is placed in a post for consideration.

Have we not had to surplant money form the General fund to special projects and do budget amendments to cover such actions while awaiting funding? I agree we probably haven't operated in a dificit, however have we put the cart before the horse in the past so as to begin something before the funds were in place. Basically stepping off the boat before the dock was in reach. Ya, we didn't get wet yet but that's because of a gamble not responsible planning. What happens when we step off and the luck isn't there? Are we talking about creative finance now?The Rec. Park Projects are a fine example aren't they? As well as others? Just exactly how would score the present administration in logic and overall committment to the Whole County? And then the same question in regards to special interests? Have they operated with the best interest and intentions of the County as a whole in mind, for the better? If so please enlighten.
