Cuts and Concessions before Police Layoffs

Every city employee should pay their own retirement contribution with the city's matching capped at 5%.

Every city employee should pay 20% if their health care premium, with standard deductibles and co-pays.

Every city position possible should be eliminated before a single police officer is layed off, even if the Mayor has to answer his own phone.

If contracts are preventing this from happening, then the City should declare insolvency, go into receivership, and let a state trustee determine new contracts, benefits and wages.
