@SteveD - Did you read this point: Since 2007 - $27.8 million in new spending has ocuured in the city budget.

Employee Benefits $21.6 million or 77.7%. Physical Resources(DPW), $2.6 million or 9.3%. Public Safety $6.4 million or 23%. Executive & Administrative -1.7 million or -6.1%. Social Service -1.1 million or -3.9%.

You still think I'm blowing this out of proportion?

@Michael2012 - thanks for making my point. Don't be surprised if this is the new norm in Warwick. Appears that experts are recommending more financial hits on active city employees to pay for retireed city employee benefits. Your throught?

Excerpt from a report submitted by the city actuarial experts to the City Finance Director on November 8, 2012:

“One factor that is expected to help dampen the growth of the liability is a recent agreement for minimal to no salary increases for current active members for the next three years. If the three-year pay freezes are realized in future valuations, the City contributions into all of its pension plans could be lower by as much as $5 million per year when compared to current projections”.
