Quote:The problem is this was a cronyism, good ol' boy special which was voted on and enacted. It's a terrible deal for taxpayers, and is unsustainable. But it is what it is. Our city's credit rating has dropped. We are broke. Something needs to be done. Pulling the pension is not a real option. And this fuzzy math plan Curry is floating isn't either. I will vote no (though I wish I had a plan I felt good enough to vote yes on) and when my property taxes inevitably go up, I will happily pay the increase as the good patriot I am.
 

Agree.

 

It was a bad deal and both sides knew it.

 

But I disagree on the proposal.  I feel we must do what we must do to get past it.  It will sting a little, but we need to get it behind us and never do it again.  If we continue to kick the can down the street it will only get worse.
