As I stated during the presentation. You first have to acknowledge a problem exists, before you can propose a solution.

Clearly based on the reaction of the employees and the union presidents in attendance that night, they don't believe there is a problem. They believe the mayor, everything is under control. They believe the "numbers are made up", "pie charts created at the kitchen table", "Cushman hobby", "Cushman not qualified". The numbers come from official city budget docs and pension reports by the experts.

I never claimed to be a pension expert or a actuarial. However I do have the expertise to analyze and present what the trends are from the numbers derived by the experts.

Mr. Small didn't write that speech. Vella-Wilkinson spouted off the same garbage a month before. It was proven that she was lying. I never said this was my hobby. Another citizen said that. But that didn't stop she from personally attacking me and lying about my credentials.

How can a doctor help an ailing patient if they refuse to believe they are sick, and if they refuse to do the testing and get the data that will determine if they are sick? The mayor and many on the council do not want the truth to come out. If it does they will have to confront the problem and the issue directly with the employees.

The RI and Warwick way is to ignore it. Let the time bomb explode of someone else watch. It's just too bad that the employees can't see this.
