One must applaud Ms. Carpenter, Mr. Owen and Ms. Wheat for standing truth to power. I hope they can spread their message about the SOI and how it will affect property values, crime rates and the overall squeeze it will put on the city.

As Ms. Gill said during her presentation on Wednesday, the city could cross the threshold between a balanced budget and dipping into reserves as early as fiscal year 2014. Will a bigger city demanding more graffiti abatement, more police services, more traffic and poorer air quality offset marginal increase in sales tax revenue?

Let's push the city leaders to be accountable to their hard-working tax-paying constituents and not the well-funded real estate developers and unions who seemingly run rough-shot on our city.
