Perhaps if Sullivan had any economic chops, he could have spent that money on maintaining vital services like police, fire/rescue, and road maintenance, and we'd have a functioning and well-ordered city instead of this lawless and disintegrating mess we currently possess. I knew Sullivan apologists would be on here patting him on the back, but really, this is the equivalent of skipping out on your rent payments for a year and then claiming you managed your budget so well that you can now afford to go on a vacation with your "savings."
