Please submit your ideas for generating more revenue and decreasing spending. We will post a list in a brainstorm fashion where all ideas will get posted (except vulgar ones). We will not attribute the ideas so that the ideas can be judged on the idea and not who posted it. Hopefully the brainstorm will generate more ideas. If you are interested in helping putting dollars to these ideas, that would be great and let us know. Our email is on the the sidebar — tips at our URL.

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008See the WTNH announcement about the trolley to nowhere closing down. This trolley cost about $350,000 per year with little to no ridership. NHCAN suggested this as a place to cut in order to save money and avoid other, more painful cuts. It looks like the city is listening.

proposed elimination of fair rent commission
tweed subsidy cuts two years in a row
shubert subsidy cuts
renegotiations with the unions
Grove Street Parking Subsidy cuts
Citizen input in the budget = Blue Ribbon Commission On The Budget
Jeffrey Kerekes Appointed to the Financial Review And Audit Commission
Small Business Initiative cuts.
