Nice JPS tosses the 1st Nazi card on the Ramage Report. Which of corsue shows your ignorance of WWII and Nazi Germany. I'm thinking this pension thing and the ills of COA fall just shy of exterminating 6 million people.Let me say I am not a fan of Reed, something our Blonde Blogging Goddess of the Media will confirm. But-Kasim Reed did not make this mess, he's the one having to clean it up. I can't see where it would be legal to change the pension arrangements with long term employees who are on verge of retirement. It's also not fair to keep the current arrangement going as it's unsustainable. I'd rather see a total cut of city government equal to the amount needed to fund pensions for people that will be retiring within the next 10 years. Modify the rest, based on length of service, lowering the pension amount and shifting to 401K, until the pension folks have retired with what they agreed upon.There is NO easy fix .someone is going to feel pain, either the pensioners or the citizens of Atlanta, most likely both. Instead of pissing money away on a streetcar, the city's contribution should be going straight to the pension fund.Raising taxes isn't going to work people in Atlanta are already overtaxed, water bills are sky high, and road repair/maintainence is almost non existent. The pension debacle rests on the backs of previous administrations Young, Jackson, Campbell, Franklin .all whom diverted the money to other areas to fund a myrid of crappy projects and stuff their freinds pockets. Reed is the last guy in line that has to pay the tab now.
