This is Sander's idea of strong Mayor? Just sit back and watch it get bigger? This is tough choice time!
- Sanders doesn't appear to be willing to take a real stance on the pension
- Mike Aguirre is gone and for all his faults, he was the only one trying to do anything about it
- CCDC is bloated with cash
- We're building a 26-million dollar bridge for the tourists

Maybe we should have voted in the TOT tax a few years back?

This city exists only to serve the developers and hospitality interests. The residents be damned.

It does appear that the existing City Council members are simply passing the buck to the new ones being sworn in.

Yeah, it would be nice to retire with $20,000 a year of pension from age 65 as a retired city or county worker. I know a couple who gets $20K a year per individual for retirement.

I will not pay anymore taxes to fund someone else's retirement.
