“New revenue could help bail out pension fund”

The reason I think this article is funny important is that it shows how people still are unwilling to accept reality.  They can raise taxes all they want, Pittsburgh will never have enough money for the promises they’ve made.  See: Pittsburgh City Pension is Dead

I’m not saying they shouldn’t raise parking fees and ticket costs.  It seems they haven’t in a while.  However, it’s like throwing a bucket of water on a burning warehouse.  Maybe it looks like you’re helping, but mostly your just delaying the inevitable.
