Its a bad financial picture for the city. And the BOA just passed a back door raise for the city executives that should have been a part of the budget discussions. We need to begin discussing measures of success. What are we getting for the money we spend? Should we not reward executives based on the money saved or actual services delivered, rather than the money spent? See the numbers on where we stand and ask your alderperson and the mayor how they plan to address this financial picture?
