Try Sun Micro not reporting because they were bought by Oracle.
Try other big prior contributors figuring out ways to circumvent MP sales tax.
Retail, Upside/downside, makes no difference, because MP can't collect what staff has been accustomed to taking for granted.

Oh Roy,
Is this statement true, that Sun Micro Systems did not report it's taxes to the City of MP because they were purchased by Oracle thus causing the 2 million dollar shortfall? "Try Sun Micro not reporting because they were bought by Oracle". No wonder there is such an effort to save the City money by not paying retirement benefits. That's because Sun saved their money. So have you, will you, do you have anything to gain by supporting the pension initiative?
