daydream is right - which one of these council members will officially put pension reform on the agenda? Answer: none. For those of you who disparage the people who brought this crisis to the public, shame on you. I don't see anyone going to the council meetings to see where your tax money is going. This is as much on the taxpayers as it is on the city. One could say the city doesn't make it easy by having having the meetings at 5pm. I agree. I also witness a lot of disorganization as if council members don't communicate at all with the departments heads until they get up to the podium. I get it, there's a lot of dead air during these meetings, they're long and very boring. But until everyone gets off their a** and starts participating, nothing will change. And why would it? After two decades of mismangement, Avedisian moved on to become the CEO of RIPTA and will line his pockets with another lucrative pension. Is he doing a good job? Who cares, this is Rhode Island... where cronyism and mediocracy thrive.
