Let me be clear about a couple things:
1. As I have said many times in the past, I have a great deal of respect for firefighters, police officers and military. You claim you don't want credit for your service but you certainly enjoy bringing it up
2. I have little respect for your pissy, condescending attitude towards the city and residents of Detroit. Your, "Pay me my money and piss off" schtick is tired.
3. I work in the private sector [[since I knew pensions would not be sustainable) however I volunteer at a number of non-profits in the city with my time and dollars. Would you like a list?
4. As for "what is owed": Where do you think the money should come from? Should we eliminate all services in the city? Should we increase the mill rate to 100 and further chase people out of the city?
5. In a perfect world I would love to see pensions honored however I would also like to honor supplying basic city services to residents that pay taxes. It appears you believe the retirees should get everything promised and the citizens get nothing but higher taxes.
Clear enough for you?
