That's about the 4th year in a row that Director Russo managed to screw up his finances and we the public have less time to pay! The best part was getting the newsletter talking about the election AFTER the election. But Team Drew will keep him around... Got to love the boys club!

Now that she's realized what scam artests they really are, they dispize her. As a director, she's been nothing but fair to both sides. The contracts she negotiated were fair to the workers and the City. The public only hears about the benefits, not the give backs that were involved.
