Bain is Right:

The city council held its first 2006 budget workshop Thursday evening and the preservation of property-tax-funded garbage collection service immediately took center stage.

Councilor Bryan Bain opposes the change and would like to find a way to ensure service to apartments and condominiums as well.

He argues that a fee based system would be “a direct hit” to Oshkosh’s poorest residents.

Same argument here. The city employees pay 5% of their health cost. That is not a realistic #, and we can not afford it. I know we can not change anything now, but we must address this as well as sick time payouts, cost of living increases and step increases in the next bargaining cycle.
