" Isn't the Napa City budget looking for money right now? From what I hear they are having trouble acquiring bond money. So wouldn't you think they should be cutting back jobs. Why do we need 4 people working at a Tree Advisory Commission? The money should be going towards the schools and teachers, we need to start cutting back these frivolous city government jobs and start saving money for situations like the current one. "

" The City would not have funds in its budget for schools The Commission and Board members are probably not paid. If you think the schools need more money then donate some. "
