To think you have to get to the pension board meetings early, it just goes to show what a circus the city has become.

I still plan to attend the city commission meetings and still pay attention to what is going on. I think we need to get citizens involved in city government. We need to know what is going on.

Every dollar spent on these campaign promises, on these two ballot measures, is another dollar that could be spent on a true solution to some of the city's real problems, to the deficit, to the potholes, to park maintenance.

You can't put a price on loyalty to the city. You can't put a price on pride at work. . . . You can't put a price on the institutional knowledge that our workers have.

You can't put a price on the institutional knowledge that our workers have.

As written, the voters will not have any authority over decisions like those made by past City Councils to shortchange the pension system.
