too late.
Five years too late when it was proposed six months ago. Not surprising, though.
Apparently just another mayoral soothsaying conveniently composed for the moment, never meant to be anything more material than the breath of hot air it was spoken with.
Blah, blah, blah, [I got my raise, again],
"consider ways to deal with these challenges for future budgets."
Yeah, Jerry. We believed you back in November, too. Honestly we did, yer onerious one!
And it's nice to see a council person like Mr. Conte recognizes that while he and others have been writing and reading the map that Albany's been following down the wrong road, all the while ignoring Mr. Calsolaro's pleas to note their erroneous oversite will lead them over a cliff, a real dead-end for the city - that it might be a good idea to sit down with the mayor and some peers to take a good look at the map they've written and to try to figure a new and safer route that doesn't lead to disaster.
"I'm more than ready to sit down in a cooperative way and work together," he said. "We're probably at the point where we need to do that. It's probably late."
Damn! That's Leadership!
Sure hope there's room enough to correct course before the road's end. Good thing we have a Mayor and Council working for us on that Mayor Jerry D. Jennings Temporary Committee Seeking Solvency.
Oh, that's right, we don't.
