First, I don't know if that's even possible. But with the EM now in place, he could plausibly go back to Snyder and say, "Look...I've crunched the numbers. There's no way to make a budget work unless all of these employees/pensioners return to the city."

Thoughts? Obviously, it would help our bottom line. But is this politically feasible? I'm torn on this and would like to entertain both sides.

My proposal thusfar would go like this:

- Orr goes to the bankers/bond holders and demands a large paycut.

- Orr goes to the pensioners and unions and demands the same things.

- Orr goes back to pensions and unions and says that we will replace your concessions with an income tax system that is heavily punitive for out-of-city residents and somehow highly rewards people for moving back to the city.

Am curious what people think about this.
