Stats are meaningless without context.

Let’s see how the Capital City is doing:
High government pensions and govt employees double dip program where you can early retire and continue working.- example Willie Meggs,
Increasing Taxes. – See Increase Property Taxes
Growing Bureaucracy. – See new hires by Mayor&City Mgr.
Lack of up mobility. – See NY Times Article
Shrinking tax base. – See Labor Stats.
Rising Crime rate.(highest in State) – See State Stats.

Pretty soon we will look like Greece or Detroit!
