It is the first time in at least three decades that no one from the Bessemer council went up to see the annual cherry blossoms and relax at taxpayer expense.
"We just passed our budget and there is no money," says Councilwoman Dorothy Davidson.
This is an election year and with unemployment in Bessemer at about 15 percent, no one wants voters this summer to think that their money was being thrown away.
Davidson is running for mayor along with four other candidates.

Everybody got religion these days -- especially in an election year.
Yes you can tell election time is here. She did not even consider their spending rampage for $2500 of candy for the Christmas parade and thousands for bingo lawyers! Now is the time to count the cost? What will she and the council do with all the legal bills now?
