It’s actually amazing that Solomon and Merolla can pretend this is all news to them. By their own admission this legal drama has been dragging on for years. They were fully aware that the firefighters, from day one, took the stance that you can not superceed a CBA with city ordinances and as such would grieve and litigate the city’s attempt at doing so. I can’t fathom how any city council doing a single shred of their due diligence would not have been fully aware that this provision was not included in the Fire contract. They were warned, aware and approved the contract. There was nothing suspicious done by the Union here. The mayor AND city council elected to approve the Fire contract while being fully aware that the pension reform ordinance was going to be challenged legally. It is more than a little ridiculous how Merolla and Solomon want to take no responsibility and it’s amazing that they can sleep at night with all of their skewed and slanted rhetoric.
