I commend the 7 on Council who recognize that the City has a financial problem, not to say crisis.
Pedro is apparently a blind ideologue
willing to run the City into the ground rather than cut spending. Over-ride the veto.

Central Falls, Rhode Island.

Stockton, California.

The problem is the council can't think outside the box, especially Kennedy. Every year it's the same thing from him in regards to the budget, cut overtime, but in order to do such a thing they would have to be able to hire individuals to fill vacancies to accomplish such a thing, but if Kennedy gets his way that won't happen either.
So, in essence, if he gets his way the PD will have to abandon it community policing plan, trash will pile up and parks won't get mowed, streets already don't get plowed, city vehicles will stay broken down, crime will increase, the viability of the city will be less, investors will back out and the city will become a ward of the state.
All because of Mr.Kennedy's years of experience an lack of knowledge on the Council. I know they have all the information in front of them but they can't connect the dots. Even when they are told the truth they still don't accept it or speak it.
He has to accept some responsibility for the state of the city since he's been on the council the longest and been part of the budget process for those years where he could of proposed resolutions that made common and economic sense.

On this one I agree with the Mayor. He is the Chief Executive of the City and it is not the job of the City Council (our legislative branch) to run the day to day operations of the city. With the legal minds on council it is hard to understand why this would even go to his desk. I hope that this was political posturing on the part of council, other wise I have some very serious doubts as to who is leading the council. It would be wonderful if the City Council did the job they where elected to do. The council has considerable powers of oversight and they still have yet to use them.
