Columbus is in its seventh year of spending more than it brings in. Columbus is also in the 6th year of DEMOCRAT MAYOR COLEMAN AND HAS BEEN SPENDING OUT OF ITS RAINY DAY FUND THAT IS ALMOST EMPTY TO BALANCE THE BUDGET.
Also, "Things the city can’t change include a 12 percent increase in health-care costs and negotiated pay raises for many of the city’s employees, Taylor said."

prior to DEMOCRAT COLEMAN was REPUBLICAN LASHUTKA who built the 60 million rainy day fund and who had a budget deficit of 500 thousand his last year in office.

Things the city can’t change include a 12 percent increase in health-care costs and negotiated pay raises for many of the city’s employees, Taylor said. This in addition to funding government retirees' pensions will be the death knell for cities.

But, dadblastit! They make sure that you're not smokin' in 'dem dadgummed bars, they are! And to heck with that NRA convention that would have pumped a few million onto the economy.
Columbus is going the way of Detroit. So glad that I moved out years ago!
