Captain, I have to agree on tax delinquents running for office. I agree also that Mr Corrente talks a good game. On the surface cutting taxes and cutting spending sounds great. When you start handing out tax breaks however, all of a sudden the math stops working.

I get frustrated when I hear Rick say he has a plan because it's not a realistic one. We have roads with holes in them, schools closing and yet somehow we'll have $ for seniors, schools, businesses. It just doesn't add up, I don't care how much you grow the economy. Stop trying to score cheap points by talking about the mayor's family life and worry about your own ideas.

The city better fix this mess or else it will be no different than the state pension system. People will haggle over raises and Co pays while their pension erodes . The question isn't whether or not these contracts were negotiated, they are. The question is can we afford it? Is it sustainable? The answer is no! I feel for both sides, and I understand how people want to passionately protect their pensions and their benefits. It just comes down to affordability, and i think it's safe to say the city can't afford it in the long run.
