@Gordianknot: "How can the information be hidden if you have it or it's on the city's website?"

To answer your question, it took extensive research by me to accumulate all this data into one document. This is not something that the every day taxpayer can do. You need to understand the actuarial reports, the terminology and figure out where in the reports the data can be found.

The so called experts in the Mayor's office should have no trouble doing this, but they don't. They will roll out hundreds of pages of complicated reports and say, "The data is all there", when they can easily do what I did. So why won't they present a consolidated look at the liabilities? It's simple, with numbers approaching $1,000,000,000 on your watch, would really want anyone informed with the facts. It easier to claim everything is ok and people like me don't know what they are talking about. One thing they have never done is prove that these numbers are wrong becuase they know there are right.

By the way for the numbers I quoted in the previous post here are the source documents:
