3. What, if any, city assets would you consider privatizing to raise money?

First I'll look at the entire city assets before I would consider privatizing it. I'll look at those on Wall Street, LaSalle Street tax as well as these that invent in this city (make their living off this city) but don't live here. I'll take a more innovative approach, thinking and working outside the box.

No I'm not and here's why, all the mistakes that the camera program is making it needs to be revaluated and it's only effecting the constitutes.
