Take two thick slices of Noonie's day old bread, smear Honey Cup honey mustard
liberally over both. Cover both slices with green leaf lettuce. Then on one slice only lay smoked turkey on the lettuce,
a tomato slice on the turkey and sprinkle it with shredded carrot. Then on the lay a slice of provolone cheese over the
carrot then a green pepper ring on top of the cheese. Sprikle with sprouts. Cover with the other slice, lettuce side down.
The letuce should be stuck to the bread with honey mustard so it doesn't fall off when you turn it upside down to cover the
sandwich. Slice sandwich in half with a knife. Wrap in tightly in plastic wrap. Use too much wrap. Tape on label. Tadaaa!

Council Rejects Montroll Proposal
Tuesday, February 10, 2009
At least night's city council meeting Democratic mayoral candidate and Ward Six city councilor Andy Montroll sponsered a resolution designed to change the city's retirement system.
Apparently the Dems all voted for it and everyone else (including Kurt Wright) voted against it. You can read the Montroll campaign's press release below the row of stars. My immediate thought here is this- if Andy really felt this was important, he should have let someone else sponsor it. Proposing sweeping changes to the city's retirement system in the heat of one's own campaign for mayor, less than a month from the election- well- that just appears blatantly political, regardless of the merits.
Andy Montroll spoke to me about the retirement system when I sat down with him last week. I expect to publish that interview in about a week. For those of you keeping track, I'll be publishing my interview with Mayor Kiss tomorrow. You'll want to read both interviews.
Here's the press release on what happened last night from Andy's campaign (under row of stars below). I'm not sure its inclusion of the words "Progressives, Republicans, Independents, Refuse Common Sense" in that order, was the best idea in an instant runoff voting election.

Burlington Democrats Stand United for Burlington Taxpayers
Progressives, Republicans, Independents, Refuse Common Sense Solution for Retirement Fund
A resolution, proposed by Andy Montroll, which would have begun the process of modifying the city's retirement system, was defeated by an 8-6 vote on Monday. As of 8 months ago the retirement system had obligations of $155 million, and assets of $118 million. Today the obligations have only increased and the assets have decreased to only $88 million. Yet the administration continues to use stale numbers from June of last year to back up its arguments. Said Andy, "We can't afford to wear rose-colored glasses when we examine this issue. Despite what the administration may claim, the system is in serious jeopardy".
The current structure of the plan means that when the system is severely underfunded, Burlington's taxpayers will be responsible for filling the gap. This system also creates a situation in which the city of Burlington is forced to plan its budget around the vagaries of the stock market. Explained Montroll, "In the current economy we cannot force the taxpayers of Burlington to be the guarantors of a system based on the stock market. We need to move forward with real change, and not simply put band-aids on a broken system".
The defeat of the resolution means that Burlington's retirement fund will continue to be a broken system. Said Montroll, "The administration is blindly following a path that has already led to disaster and change is needed now. As Mayor, fixing this system would be one of my top priorities. The retirement fund is nearing the point of no return, and we must seek to change its direction immediately".
