The biggest problem is the public unions unwilling to budge on things like PERS which is mired in debt. If Public employees were required to pay at least half of their of their own retirement, that would recover huge sums of money. The lack of a business friendly area also is bad for revenue. Businesses are buried in taxes now, with LTD, gas, etc. etc. and all the other city regulations. Folks they just won't get it until they are completely out of money, have to fire all public employees, and go bankrupt. If I were a Public Employee I would push my union to make concessions, some of the pie is better than none of the pie. Think!

Stop all of the tax breaks and get people back to work. Have you really thought about that? I would think if you stop giving to all the illegals in this town and state you would save millions.

Lets start with the city street crews who clown around on the 2-way radio every day....between them and the clowns cleaning the arena or stadium its a laugh a minute on the 2-way. No tax breaks for builders!! I know this is off topic regarding the UofO but their door shakers(cops) have give out names, date of birth, DL#s and SS#s via the radio

Yes BUT lets give the people who want to build at 13th and olive a HUGE tax break Kitty...Screw them, if they dont build, someone else will if they are willing to pay the proper taxes like the rest of us do.
