what irks me (none / 0) (#3)

to be straight, is there ARE people on the council with the ability to write a different budget.  Put it out there.

I was dismayed to see that even the best members of the council didn't put forth the effort to assemble a different budget and at least put it out there for consideration. I'm not imagining that alternative would have been adopted but it would have been a great way to highlight the problems with the existing one.

I also wonder if O'Brien would have voted differently if an alternative was on the table. He said he voted yes because there was no other option.

It would only take a shift of two votes to have turned down this budget.

I agree with you (none / 0) (#16)

There should have been an effort to put forth a different budget and it would have highlighted where the differences are.

I'm not satisfied with dissent.   There needs to be something shown about what they'd do.
