Rick, I think the point CrickeeRaven was (correctly) making is that you get very specific when you want to attack the mayor. However, when you pay a "compliment" towards him (if ever) it is very general and vague.

I have asked you how you will cut taxes while you are also creating very generous programs with high upfront costs. One side of your mouth talks about liabilities and the city going bankrupt, the other side is wrongly telling seniors and veterans you will pay 50% of their car taxes. Just printing "cut taxes" on a sign won't make it happen.

I have also asked you about the costs of some of your policy proposals. You continue to say that you cannot tell me the costs because it is a moving target. Fine, I then asked for estimates and your response was that you will not give them to me, because I will "pick them apart". Welcome to running for office Rick. Maybe you've skated by on "cut taxes, cut spending", but if all you can say is "look at my website" well then TRUST ME Rick, the answers are not there.

The truth is you will NOT be able to cut taxes in office. The city simply doesn't have the revenue to pay 50% of seniors and vets car taxes or freeze permit fees. Nor does it have the money to offer rebates to new homeowners or businesses. Plus, a pension buyout proposal you haven't given a single specific about yet. Add all of that up and I don't see how you think you'll be able to cut taxes. Either give the specifics, or stop being dishonest with the voters.
