Board of Aldermen:
| asked to have the attached letter (corrected) included on the Agenda of your next board meeting, 14
June.
| suggest you read it carefully...especially the newly elected aldermen and many reelected but fiscally
naive aldermen who, from what | observe, are being led by the nose concerning fiscal issues by the
administration and by BRC Chairman Dowd.
For example, | am informed that BRC Chairman Dowd met privately with City attorney Bolton and
CFO Griffin (and possibly the mayor), to suppress any public presentation on the Spending Cap.
Furthermore, the administration's claim that it cannot produce an estimate of the anticipated tax rate
is pure deception. This belies the fact that aldermen routinely receiving estimates of the anticipated
tax rate information from earlier administrations, while considering the annual budget.
Of course, it takes fiscally astute aldermen, who are minimally knowledgeable of Masons’
parliamentary rules, to demand this information.
