Giving back 2% doesnt solve the problem. It only ensures that next time the city will want another 2%. The true problem stems from the media failing to report the FULL story. Wasteful spending, pork barrel politics, back room deals...all get hidden by a media who is in the pocket of the politicians. The 4th estate is bankrupt. Anybody who believes that a give back would stave off layoffs is just blind to the citys true agenda.

Yeah what really sucks it that, like most depts, they probably have a bunch of people with 3+ bugles who sit around all day doing nothing who could retire or who's positions could be eliminated in order to save line guys. Depts always cut from the bottom up. I heard that Hollywood is laying off 12 of the 15 they recently hired.If your going to cry about doing the job you signed up for do us all a favor and quit, there are plenty of dedicated people standing in line for the best job in the world.

Big departments that are "top heavy" should reconsider. I know Miami-Dade's administrators get incentive pay even though they are behind a desk. You're a Medic and a Diver but have sat behind a desk for 10 years? Medic and Diver pay for you!
