Everyone should be advised that certain members of the city council are poised to vote to ratify the police and dpw contracts tomorrow in the absence of the council audit report. These contracts indicate a 2.8 million dollar increase for raises alone, plus a reduction in the co-pay from 8% to 5% with no fiscal note attached. The result is a maximum property tax increase for the many years to come. Acting Mayor Solomon is placating to the unions to pass these contracts prior to the election and is attempting to divert the findings of the independent auditors report.

Any council member that votes to ratify contracts in the absence of the fiscal reports should be hung in effigy.
