"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself.

I was ready to tear the City Council some new sphincters, but...
Ross beat me to it. Go read it, right now.
On top of that, the Council voted 4-8 against restoring the 18-cents they took out of the tax rate 4 years ago. I supported the restoration, and applaud Harold Collins, Janis Fullilove, Myron Lowery and (gulp) Joe Brown for doing the correct thing and voting for it.
Now, Mediaverse has it right when he said that "failing to restore the tax creates a situation where the city believes it must cut when it really doesn't need to cut".
The City Council is completely dysfunctional, and have I mentioned that you should read Ross tonight? No wonder they don't want anyone to know what the district lines are.
