To the Editors of the Sheet News:
I have been following the economiomic developments which are threatnening city governments throughout the state of California.
I was not aware of the budget concerns which were afflicting Mammoth Lake, but the bankruptcy which has already taken down Vallejo and threatens Stockton has determined not to stop in port cities or in the Bay Area. The problem of municipal pressures to pay out pensions and benefits is a serious one, one which has not arrested the attention of voters in the state.
I hope the best for the Mammoth Lake community. No city should have to suffer through economic constraints because of public sector unions who refuse to negotiate.
