Solving Newton's Structural Deficit

In case you missed it, Alderman Parker had a great column in last week's TAB about solving Newton's pressing financial issues.

Sometimes when people talk about the structural deficit, they make it sound as though it is caused by factors beyond our control. People assume that with revenue going up at 3 percent and some costs increasing at 10 percent, that we cannot close the gap. Nothing could be further from the truth. We can solve the structural deficit if we step back and examine the problem with a little perspective.

To find out how it can be done, take a look here, and let us know what you think!
