Taxpayers face a pension bill mountain

Big differences between Brown and Peyton.

Peyton came to office in rosier times when the U.S. economy was propped up on a housing bubble doomed to crash. He had to eat his mistake but instituting solid waste and stormwater fees (taxes in sheep's clothing).

Brown took office knowing we were in a economic pit, knowing the City was desperately in need of new revenue for basic services, and still promised no new taxes or fees! He rode his tired cliches past Hogan and became our accidental Mayor.

This budget is going to be ugly.

This sounds a lot like Obama taking over the White House once George W. Bush left office.
