Same old same old, from the reading I've done on the Beacon website about this, the cost of the teacher contract was not a surprise for the city council; they set aside $3 million in the first year to pay for it before it was settled -- then apparently delayed releasing the money after the contract was signed.

The budget that Avedisian submitted last year was, likewise, not a surprise for the city council -- they had total control over the budget from there, and they decided not to put enough money into it.

As I've been saying, they are all to blame, but Solomon and the council are still around to do anything about it -- and look what they're doing (or more accurately, not doing).

They're not funding the schools, they're not resolving the current budget deficit, and they're not doing anything to address the deficit in the next budget.

If anyone is forgetting anything, it's Solomon and the council who are forgetting that they're the ones who are supposed to fix this mess instead of blaming other people.
