News / Chicagoland The structural deficit that ate Chicago
Posted by Whet Moser on Mon, Mar 31, 2008 at 5:48 PM
The Stroger family has a way with words:
Donna Dunnings blamed a "structural deficit" in the budget where revenues can't keep pace with expenses. “In fact, that structural deficit is living and breathing, and the sales tax is by no means the answer to that,” Dunnings said in response to a question at a City Club of Chicago luncheon. “So, we have to look at other revenues, as well as cost containment.”
Dunnings told CBS 2 she works hard and is better qualified than her predecessor, Tom Glazer.
"I have a master's degree from Northwestern University," Dunnings said. "I think Mr. Glazer went to the University of Illinois at Chicago."
At UIC they only train you on dead structural-deficit corpses. Kellogg grads learn "cost containment" to trap feral structural deficits.
