[The following opinion appeared in The Record, March 28, 2004]:
Regarding, "Hackensack shelter cost criticized" (Page L-1, March 23):
I agree with Bergen County Freeholder Lou Tedesco and Hackensack Mayor Jack Zisa. We are being taxed to death.
Building a $3 million structure can tempt politicians to put the money into pockets of those with "special interests" in the project. That possibility is no secret any time a municipality of the county "builds" something. And when they talk about bonding, the average person does not consider that you eventually have to pay back the bonds down the road.
It's about time someone is thinking of the taxpayer.
