When has Rybak ever said "no" to anything? His only "veto" was a ridiculous "veto of inaction," in support of Basim Sabri. This entire statement is a strange twisting of reality, as though the Mayor has fallen through the looking glass. Seems to me, what he's actually done is say "YES" to everything *except* basic services. Our police and fire departments have been decimated to support everything Rybak has said "yes" to. Perhaps the mayor and I have a different idea of which services constitute "basic" services. I was thinking emergency services, roads, lights and water are "basic services."
