The CLAIM that our REVENUE (income) is DECREASING in the current ECONOMIC DOWNTURN is MISLEADING.
Our City's REVENUE has remained close to $ 4.38 billion for six (6) years.
These problems are due to our City's INCREASING EXPENSES (Salaries & Pensions)
These expenses are PROPOSED by the MAYOR and APPROVED by City Council.
