crazycouncil, as far as I know, the state intervenes only after certain things have happened, like a bond rating being lowered; the possibility of missing a bond payment; and a need to exceed the state cap on tax increases, among other situations.

What Solomon and the council are trying to do is give themselves political cover for past decisions they made that have resulted in the current financial situation.

At least from what I'm seeing on this website, most people aren't falling for it.
