The City Of Atlanta Budget deficiency was explained by COO Greg Giornelli during the most recent Financial Executive Committee session on February 11, 2009.. According to news source Christopher King (Channel 46 News) on February 11, 2009 many questions were raised about the budget numbers. http://www.cbsatlanta.com/news/18693112/detail.html#- Mr. King (Channel 46 news) stating the Atlanta’s COO Greg Giornelli paints a pretty grim picture of the City of Atlanta Finances, during the Financial and Executive Committee meeting.

Greg Giornelli told the City Finance and Executive Committee http://apps.atlantaga.gov/citycouncil/video.htm the projected revenue short fall will be in the 70 to 80 million dollar range. This is approximately 30 Million more than previously projected during the 1st quarter. During the 1st quarter 222 personnel reductions occurred and furloughs began, saving the city 38-48M in personnel cost (per Giornelli). Property tax collection is down more than 15%,he said, however; expense spending is running under budget by 4%, indicating a possible savings of 10.5M in the expense budget (per Giaonelli).

PACE Membership Drive for City of Atlanta Non-Union Employee's is critical this year. The Employee Free Choice Act is sweeping the nation from our own City Council to the New York Post supporting this Act. The Obama Administration is encouraging employees to become a part of unions, which is a very important part of our nations recovery, as we hope to put more Americans working in 2009 and help in keeping their jobs.

Union membership is encouraged to help bring unity into the workplace, strengthen our voice and use it as a resource for employees. Unions help to keep employees informed, fight for better wages, health care, pensions, representation and more. Our community outreach is also important for union members, we use resources to help our members grow and become involved in community growth to help working families.

A Poem

Miracle on the Hudson River

Birds in flight found an airplane engine and lost their life

It caused the airplane to lose its engines while in flight

Unlike the birds, the Airplane was not able to soar

The pilot was experienced though he never crashed before

It became a Miracle as God then opened Heavens door,

He sent his angels in a flash to keep the plane off the ocean floor

No fire, no destruction of the airplane when it crashed

Everyone got out safely and the pilot got out last

They stood on the wings of a plane that did not sink

A miracle on the Hudson River, is what we all began to think

No engines, no place to go, a pilot with many lives on hand

A quick decision directed by God, told the pilot where to land

A special day, many people witness this very amazing thing

A plane crash on water, never sinking with people on its wings

God return the men to wives and mothers back to their daughter

It reminded me of the bible when Jesus walked upon the water

Explaining this phenomenon, is like describing love

Now is the time to believe that there is a God above

Although we praise the pilot for the way he did deliver

But this day it was truly a Miracle on the Hudson River
