@GordianKnot: The facts is I have provided resulted from extensive investigation and analysis of the data, something that this administration and most members of the city council refuses to do. When Councilman Steve Merolla passed legislation to bring in experts to analyze and provide further details on these issues, the Mayor vetoed the legislation.

My point is this. There is much more information that needs to be developed. As I stated previously, long term trending data not only related to the pension and OPEB expenses but data related to long term budgeting and capital expenses and revenue projections needs to be considered.

However if the goal by this administration is to hide the extent of the problem until those in charge are gone from Warwick politics, the current philosophy of claiming that the problem has been solved and doing everything possible to keep the skeletons buried is the right political strategy.

To STEVED argument that there is a plan in place - consider this fact, the Mayor's pension reforms did not cut one penny from the $900,000,000 in current liabilities. So if we are expending so much of our new revenue to pay these liabilities as they materialize each year, what is going to happen when the amount of new dollars needed to fund these old liabilities continue to grow to a point that no money is left to pay for current expenses (including current employee salary increases and benefits)?
