  3. What if Ned put together a five year plan to reverse our current trend that began to deal with the several specific spending areas and revenue opportunities most in need of attention (whatever they are politically decided to be)? And at the end of 1 or 2, 3 or 4 we are on trend and tweaking the last years with what we have learned currently. Would anyone pay attention or care?

    Ken Flatto did it again with budgeting magic and no one paying much attention to the tricks of when pension payments are made or of what bond refunding costs in future years rather than what they may save this year. Will he provide a June 2018 FINAL REPORT when accruals or other journal entries are made as well as audit adjustments to be determined in Autumn when the audit is conducted?? He made fun of that idea last year, and performed it grudgingly the year before. So neither the Council nor you, dear taxpayer, are ever sure of the real numbers in the operating budget. Do you care? Have you told your Council person? Time will tell.
