The budget does nothing to address the structural issues in the city i.e. out of control pensions and healthcare costs.

I would ask Solomon to go back to the unions and ask for concessions. The only thing that could be said positively about this budget is that it makes Avedisian look good.

Has Joe lost all his courage? In the past he wasn't afraid to take on the unions but now he just caves. Why did Joe say no bankruptcy on his watch, no cut in wages and sign the Avedisian giveways to the city workers and police dept? Is Joe only concerned about his elections and let the taxpayers be damned? It certainly appears that way.

It is now time for the City Council to step up and does what needs to be done to saves the taxpayers because Joe refuses to do it.
