You do not get good management and good decisions until money gets tight. Any damn fool can be a manager with unlimited cash.

CASH FLOW AFFECTS MANAGEMENT MORE THAN MANAGEMENT AFFECTS CASHFLOW.

"Was it true we had a cocktail every now and then? Absolutely. Were we out boozing and not coming back (to work) because we were hung over? Absolutely not," union President Kurt Henke said ...

"No, we were having cocktails in rapid succession and coming back to work still smashed from the previous nights festivities."

Under their contract, the firefighters union has been allowed since 2003 to charge the city 600 hours a year - at a cost of more than $24,000 annually...

OK, but this is tiny stuff. Where are the millions going? And if it's to pay people who no longer work for Vallejo any more, then some promises may have to be taken back.
