Certainly that's hindsight. My simple response would be yes. It's never too late to have that conversation.
In reality, Marty, the framework is fundamentally misaligned with the modern role that municipalities play, and that has increased in the last four, five, six or seven years. When we're through this, make no mistake, our local leaders will be ready for those tough conversations, of course without opening the Constitution, if that's at all possible. However, today is not the day for that conversation.
I can't stress enough—and I've been in this municipal world now for 16 years—that this is a crisis. When we talk about not knowing what we're going to have to cut two months from now, it is not about the revenue loss in and of itself. It's not about the financial crunch. It's all about the loss of the ability to know what we have to do next. It's going to eventually have to result, unfortunately, in a loss of essential services.
