Harrisburg School District ranked dead last in the state.

Harrisburg School District drowning in debt and fiscal irresponsibility.

Murders, shootings, muggings, thefts daily.

Property taxes increased 17%.

Millions in loans on the backs of taxpayers to pay for a Money Pit of a trash incinerator that was doomed from the start.

Water rates increased despite reduced demand.

Trash rates increase to pay for incinerator flub.

Summary in three words? “Shit Rolls Downhill”  

(Did I leave anything out? Feel free to add to the list)

Well, not really…but it might as well be.

Just got the Harrisburg Hello Newsletter- put out by the Downtown Improvement District weekly.

In the newsletter, they announced that Our city is once again showing it’s ineptitude to book a decent day of music on its own.

Here’s the gist of things-

The City is throwing an all day street festival on Saturday July 14th at Third and Walnut stretching out about four blocks.

It’s going to be food vendors, roadside art and surely countless other dollar grabbing items lined up on the streets.

And the headlining band…the best thing they could find for an all day outdoor street festival is a CHRISTIAN ROCK BAND called –

Sonicflood.

Christian Rock.

At a City Sponsored festival.

Can someone send a memo to parks and rec to let them know how disappointing this is?

Oh wait…I think I just did.

Here’s their video for their Christian Rock Hit (note: sarcasm) “Cry Holy”.

Yeah, we’re cryin’ holy alright.
