Everyone Must Step Up
- City and Town Governments — continued focus on efficiency (for example, Providence has already shed 445 positions since 2003).
- Unions — must follow example of laborers — be willing to make major structural reform in pension, health care, salary.
- Non-profit institutions with over $20 million in assessed real estate — enormously important to city & state, but need to increase contribution to a fair share with property taxpayers.
