Sticker Shock

Our bill finally comes in for the Kirk/Ware era

The three on the council who most clearly spoke the language of fiscal responsibility on this were Don Hill, Leo Chaney and James Fantroy. Hill, in particular, said basically that if we do not meet this obligation, we will never be able to recruit quality people to work for the city again.

Bottom line? I don't hear it getting fixed. The stuff from Rasansky and others on the council is eerily like what we got from Kirk and Ware. It's all free money. Or maybe this is more like it: "Take from the city according to your needs, but pay according to your whims." Soviet party-hearty!

Mayor Laura Miller and council member Mitchell Rasansky have a lot of new ideas for the city pension fund. New ideas, old ideas, whatever: What the fund needs is 20 million bucks.
