"I suggest that we just reduce spending by the same amount". Seriously? The problem is Rick, you can never identify what spending you're going to cut. If you don't believe me, watch your debate where you were specifically asked what budgetary spending you would cut. You couldn't answer the question and rambled as you did for the entire hour. As Bob asked would those cuts you suggest be on the school side or the city side?

Also Rick, your plan called for paying 50% of the car taxes for seniors and veterans which would leave you even less revenue to reduce car taxes. I asked you how much that program would cost, you told me you didn't know because you weren't sure how many would actually use the program. There is no math to anything you propose Rick, no total costs, no estimates. Saying "cut taxes, cut spending" or "we just reduce spending by the same amount" doesnt make it so.

You've had over 2 years to come up with an answer and the fact you can't speaks volumes about how you think. You blame PAC checks rather than your lack of understanding on schools, budgets and taxes. Spin it however you want the voters didn't buy it for 2 years, and they aren't buying it now.
