no offense, but the pensions are not even close to being shored up. and theres still plenty of budget gimmicks. what do you call Rahms proposal to take out another $10 billion loan to fund pensions (which btw, the city wants to gamble on the stock market to try and outpace the 5% borrowing cost...hm, when has this ever gone badly before)?
