Bob, why would any of the city workers believe a guy with a masters degree who works in the business every day? Its so much easier to believe the high school drop out union leaders that tell them exactly what they want to hear to keep proliferating the mayors agenda and promises. What I dont understand is that at every council meeting and more importantly, at the budget hearings, I have never seen a union member whether it be police , fire, or municipality, ask one question of financial relevance. It would appear that although they bash you and Roy and others on this blog, that they are intimidated to ask a question in the public forum. Is that because they are trully uneducated on the subject matter that effects their future, or is it because they fear the retaliation from the unions? Either way it pans out, since they are unable to cast a question of merit in public, and you continually do so with facts and figures that are not disputable, a reasonable person would conclude that you are in fact looking out for their best interest, in addition to looking out for the taxpayers best interest by posing sound questions backed by numbers and fact. It is a shame that they dont take you up on your generous offer of a beer and a cordial chat. I think that if they did they just might learn the ugly facts and then question the leadership. Maybe then the "us vs. them" mentality would be come "were all in it together". I for one thank you for the enourmous amount of work that you do on your own time educating and bringing these issues to light.
