How about NO more raises!! Do away with all of the excutive assitants. Sell the Museums. City car use shouldbe really looked at. How about not haveing our city employees eat breakfast on city time.

No need to raise fines from present, just start enforcing more...Run each city department and their divisions like a business, requiring a level of financial and work performancefrom city employees that equals their counterparts in private industry. From personal experience with the level ofservice provided by the city, I would have ceased to do business with some departments very quickly due to theirlack of expedient service to not only the public they serve but to other departments within the city.Why not reduce the salaries of the top 5% of your executives that the City Council voted to increase last year?Why not try to recover Henry Taboada's severance package? Do you really think that the public believes thatthe City is $80 million in a deficit? Which set of "books" are you folks using?Do not raise revenue. Cut city services where ever possible.

Revenues will increase by the resulting sales tax on the products and services delivered by the new business. Rather than a slush fund of $150,000 for each council member, use that kind of money for fire station repairs!Cut travel expenses as well. Send one or two members of city council and staff to conferences instead of five toseven. With this kind of spending, along with recent raises and pension increases during a budget crisis, the city councilhas no right and no standing to suggest any tax increases for a very long time!bill for use of city picnic grounds, city ball fields when used by leages
