Samuel, imagine my lack of surprise, after getting back from a full weekend of spending time with my family, that the screeching noise had not subsided.
I would much rather base my opinions on factual information provided by objective financial experts, instead of rehashed complaints that, as you mentioned, have accomplished exactly nothing except showing how dumb these critics look.
And those financial experts say the same thing: The city is in decent financial shape, and it can improve if city officials put aside their individual agendas and work together.
Apollo, you are right that the city should put more toward OPEB. I think the amount should be somewhere between what they are paying now (which is 100% of what the experts recommend for annual pay-as-you-go costs) and Merolla's highly subjective estimate.
That way, the city would be putting more aside for future costs but not risking its current financial state.
