Lincoln needs to cover an estimated $9 million budget gap for 2007-2008. Where are we going to find the money?
- Exploit the fact that people can't resist throwing coins into water by installing dozens of fountains (or even just buckets of water labeled "Wishing Well") all around town.
- Reopen Robber's Cave for one month, and advertise it as "Your last chance to relive your childhood memories!" Charge by the minute.
- Set up a dunking booth featuring Mayor Seng, the City Council, and Mike Spadt. Charge $5 per ball.
- Instead of paving the Antelope Valley Roadway with concrete, use gravel.
- Rename it the Lincoln Children's Museum and Sweatshop.
