Is this a blatant hit piece or what?

Actually, I found it to be much better than anticipated, given the barf alert. Schundler was praised by critics, called an innovator, and broke the horrible tax-cut cycle. Sure, there was a negative spin on the story, but this is far better IMHO than some of the trash the Slimes has printed.

Yeah it's a hit piece. The problem is IMHO that he didn't cut enough out of the city budget in order to appease the left, and of course they assault him over it anyway. If it's like many cities, they probably run the bus lines at a deficit, have too many employees, require minimum wages of $12-15 for employees of city contractors (i.e cleaning crews for public buildings), many many employees which cost (recurring) $50,000 a year to do the job that 1 computer kiosk costing (one-time) $10,000 could accomplish... all adding unnecessary costs to the city.

Thanks for the ping, YaYa!

I haven't read the article yet, but someone here said that it wasn't until halfway thru the article, that it turned negative. And THAT is a positive sign for Halbfinger!! LOL!
