Mayor paints two city budget pix: dark and darker

And there's never any posturing when it comes to budgets.

You think the budget gaps are just posturing?

I think that the exact amount of the gaps is posturing at this point in time. They certainly exist, but how the gaps and cuts are communicated will be manipulated. That is politics.

If you cut all the "unfilled" position by attrition, you save 4.9 bill. Sounds like this whole budget is a fiction.

AND limit the raises. AND make other cuts.

Fire 2800 teachers,reduce trash pick-up and, street cleaning.

Wait 6-8yrs and you know what you get?

More people to pick up trash and clean the streets.

It all takes care of itself.
