Re: “The Skinny”
When will Zimmerman BE prepared to discuss the fact that nobody will be paying into the system while current retirees continue to draw pensions. He has no problem stating "Everybody wins on this thing" and "...it will save taxpayer money in the long run" but yet he isn't prepared to explain it?
Re: “The Skinny”
"But there's a fundamental problem with the proposal that Zimmerman wasn't prepared to discuss last week: If current employees are no longer contributing to the underfunded pension plan, there won't be enough money in the long run to make payments to the people who are receiving pensions." Tens of millions of dollars worth of tax money in fact. The Council has a legal duty to properly fund the retirement system. Right now the City payment to the retirement fund is about $23 million. It would increase exponentially if future employees weren't contributing. And how much is the Council paying into the public safety (ie-police and fire)? $46 million a year! Why not go after that? Its hypocrisy writ large.

Re: “The Skinny”
It enraged me to learn of Susan Bacal's arrest for shoplifting. The sticky fingered judge is presently trying to make me do 13 drug classes even though the case I had in her court was dropped in a plea and the connected case in Judge Paytons court was closed in 2008 by his pro-temp. I see this as abuse of power, judicial misconduct, and false imprisonment. Unfortunately neither my parents or I can afford a lawyer. It must be nice to have parents with political pull and a hudge bank account.
I guess because I'm not a cop or UofA Professor she will not show me any lenientcy even though my case is officially closed.
She should be disbarred from the legal profession and thrown off tbe bench for being a theif and a hypocrite .
