I see this as a time and money-wasting uphill battle for a city who should probably concentrate on getting (and keeping) their house in order regardless of how the court rules. If that means layoffs and RIFs, its citizens will have to get used to less services. If they can’t staff enough employees for their state and Federally mandated programs, then they will have to seek funds from the state/Federal govm’t to run these programs or send those patrons elsewhere to apply for benefits.[/quote]
Vallejo is how looks.
Bond holders eat it.
City services shredded, RIFs of 30%, 40% or 50% of staff, including police and fire. The Police department is reduced by 38% of peak staffing in 2004, the fire department reduced 30%.
Increased contributions to pensions for the remaining workers to actually pay as you go.
