While I'm disappointed that our city's revenues are plummeting, I don't see anything nefarious in the financial projections. The numbers are always at least one quarter behind (October numbers had data through June 2009). However, I'll keep my eyes open for any more indicators of numbers that aren't quite right. Should have some new records to review in the next week or two, based on the discussions at the Committee meeting, once the City finishes compiling the 4th quarter numbers.

I'm headed to City Hall this morning, and will ask for a copy of the Finance Committee Minutes while I'm there. I'm eager to see more accountability, especially where the Council is concerned.
