No, and that's becoming one of the issues.

I believe in leading from the top, and the before the first fireman or police officer was let go, they should have taken a pay cut. Seems they have not. And it's odd that we are asking our city employees to pay more of their benefits when the city council gets unlimited benefits for life. That's screwy.

But it's an unrelated issue. Right now in front of us is the union issue. We are no on week three of their strike. Three weeks ago the city issued it's "last and final" proposal. The union seems to think this is a starting point for discussions, and the city is standing firm saying "That's still our final offer". In the mean time my garbage was picked up yesterday, and my kid's bus is still running on time.
