The Council and staff seem to have a common theme that the City needs to 'tell their story' and 'educate' the public about city finance problems. What I am not hearing in these discussions is the concept of reducing the size of some programs or ending some programs. The number of different programs and staff numbers have increased over the years. It is certainly possible that the public would be willing to see some reductions.

This isn't the same as 'efficiencies' which should also be examined.
