A couple of former city council, one is out now and the third died before the slammer.
A shame but he has big time well known natiional conservatives as friends.
since the new mayor and many changes, train wreck, not even close.
Oh? So this new mayor is going to magically produce a few hundred million to fund pensions? More like the new mayor is standing in front of a freight train.
...which is the reason why all government jobs should be based on a percentage of the average private citizen's wage. If the average citizen makes $20,000 plus 25% in benefits for a total of $25,000, a fireman would make, say, 200% (danger factor) of that - $50,000. And, like private companies are doing, all retirements would be abolished. A 401(k) would be set up so each person would have to save for their own retirement. This should happen at every level of government.
But what the hey- we have the world's finest weather.
And the world's best Mexican food- because all the great Mexican cooks are here.
We celebrate Cinqo de Mayo to prove it.
Who cares if our city is going bankrupt?
