Will Colorado Springs have another Kumbaya Budget?

What this episode covers

Are police and fire really fully funded? The developers of three 25 story buildings downtown are looking for the “Freebees” at taxpayer expense. Should they get them? Has city council lost their ability of “Checks & Balances?” Will development charges be enough to bail Colorado Springs out of the hole it has dug for itself? Or will Colorado Springs continue kicking the can down the road before it realizes that it must charge for development? Is growth an addiction for Colorado Springs? Is Colorado Springs in a deeper hole financially than what is being led on? Being short personnel in the police department does not bode well for a “fully funded” police department. Smoke and Mirrors?
