The unions say bankruptcy, which would let the city renegotiate its debts and labor contracts, is not needed.The unions know that bankruptcy would invalidate all of their contracts with the city.
Half Moon Bay is next...
Chapter 9 BK’s will be happening by towns all across california as housing prices (and property taxes) continue their 25% decline (at least).. and thus too city revenues.
It’s amazing that we live in a country where a city or county can file bankruptcy and no one gets tarred and feathered.
TOO LATE - you greedy unions
Last week my BIL and SIL visited us, and both are Harley riders and wanted to go the Harley store in Vallejo.
We took them there from 11 am to noonish.
While we were there two of the Harley employees and two customers said that in the evenings, 911 cop calls were being handled by the Benicia Police with a minimum of a 30 minute response time.
Apparently things are as bad in the Vallejo fire deparmtent as the Vallejo so called leaders have apparently queried the fire departments in other cities re coverage. Those requests were not met with great positive responses.
Yep. And all of those platinum plated benefits would (hopefully) go bye-bye.
