The City has asked firefighters to phase in the Prop B pay raises over 5 years, since there is no funding source. A 5 year phase-in would mean no layoffs. The firefighters have refused. I don't want to lay off any city workers but I have to balance the budget. — PolitiTweet.org

Today's Prop B Fact: The City is moving forward with implementing Prop B. Firefighters will receive a lump sum payment in May covering their 29% pay raise from Jan. 1. Since there is no funding source for Prop B, the money for this will come from the City's fund balance. https://t.co/kRrufwHiK3 — PolitiTweet.org

At some point, firefighters have to justify where City gets the money for Prop B pay raises. This is a matter of dollars and cents. The $31 million required to give firefighters their raise comes from the fund balance, which bumps up the city's budget shortfall to $197 million. — PolitiTweet.org
