Cat, I have no issue with people who want to get involved and highlight the problems with how the city is being run.

I also agree with them, that Solomon's blatant flip-flop on the city's financial condition is a real problem that cuts into his credibility.

But when it comes time to offer solutions, all they seem to want is to dismantle union pensions, cut funding for schools, and accuse elected officials of "playing games" and "being corrupt" -- things that, while they may sound nice to some people, are impractical and ineffective.

As the article notes, four people out of an estimated 70 stood up to show interest in running for office. To me, that's proof that the majority of people won't carry the banner of these "activists," as the article calls them, however loud or persistent they may be.
