How could any republican on the council not vote to repeal or sunset unless they were blantant liars or hypocrites....and that is a possibility..Even the FOP who would benefit from it blasted Bart for proposing it....it those who benefit from it, dont want it...it sounds like a slam dunk repeal or sunset to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-87542187121680555722007-11-15T06:36:00.000-05:002007-11-15T06:36:00.000-05:00Sunset is a sound option. It would expire 10-11 months after the new mayor/council majority are in office, and that would be ample time to repair things--using their own budgetary priorities and choices.<BR/><BR/>That same new mayor and council majority must prepare a 2009 budget, and have it ready for public hearings by August.<BR/><BR/>It'd be ironic, because former Republican mayors knew full well the unfunded pension obligations were there. They ignored them. It's hilarious that some of your party, Gary, touts themselves as fiscally sound, whilst pushing huge obligations onto the next generation. Think Iraq.<BR/><BR/>Reagan and W have taught them well.<BR/><BR/>Sanders isn't flipping. Sunset is a sound idea and its advocacy is one more reason she should be caucus leader. The bigger council outrage is goofball Dane Mahern's public abandonment of his newly-elected council term, before he even takes the oath, to run for the House.<BR/><BR/>If only he'd lose everything, if he lost the House race...hmmmm.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-69783302593984690282007-11-15T05:54:00.000-05:002007-11-15T05:54:00.000-05:00What does the dumpster diver care if they repeal the COIT - he supported it then and certainly must think we still need it. <BR/><BR/>Ignore the dumpster diver.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-67601275213773398492007-11-15T00:30:00.000-05:002007-11-15T00:30:00.000-05:00Wilson.
