Comment Citizen on Story McFadden Manor

Malden resident's have no one to blame but themselves. We elect these city council members. People forget that the council is a representation of Malden. It's not the council's city, it's the people's city. However, the city rakes in millions of dollars each year from state aid and local taxes. Do we really know where all this money is going? Open up the books at McFadden and all the city budgets and let the people see where all the money is going. We all do it everyday running our own households, why can't we see where all the money is going in the city. I'm sure there are wastes and excesses in the city that the council doesn't want us to know about, just like we don't want our spouses to know about in our budget. Once we know where all the money is going and how much we really have to spend, then we can have a true debate about what Malden resident's want to pay for, like McFadden or a bloated DPW budget or education budget.
