#1 And they didn't even need to send in R. Lee Ermy.

#2 Councilman Joe McNamara, who presented the resolution along with Frank Szollosi, D. Michael Collins, Michael Ashford, and Mike Craig, pleaded with people not to attempt to punish the mayor by defeating the income tax renewal.Voting no on the 0.75 percent tax will not remove Mayor Finkbeiner from office, Mr. McNamara said. Please dont throw the baby out with the bath water.

Because, when you come right down to it, The Public Tit is what keeps us all together. Let's not tip The Trough over just because Funky Winkerbein's an idiot...

I don't think their weak constitutions could have handled the massive ass-chewing they would have gotten.

#4 Well, I'm no fan of taxes - particularly income taxes, but it seems to me the proper path in this case would be exercising whatever recall mechanism the local ordinances/charter specify. Vote the taxes down on their own lack of merit.

#5 Funny how it's always the threat of cutting off funds that brings out the "troop support".
