      3/ I can tell you how it went. Proposal to increase taxes by $80/k to hire two new cops. Chief approaches mic, argues that we need a bigger dept. Crowd is generally sympathetic. I approach mic, direct questions to chief. >>

      4/ "Chief, you say the proposal is $80k ...but these officers would be hired in July, right?" Yes. "So this is for a half year of salary. In subsequent years, it would cost $160k, is that right?" Yes.

      5/ "OK, so the real price is $160k/yr....but we have to pay benefits, which is 20%. So the real price is actually $200k/yr, is that right?" Yes. "And we have to contribute to the state-run pension plan, so the real cost is actually not $200k/yr, but $240k/yr, right?" Yes.

      7/ "So this proposal for $80k per year is ACTUALLY about $100k per year, and then $200k for all following years, is that right?" Yes. "And the contract promises 5% raises each year, is that right?" Yes.

      8/ "And those raises happen on the first of each year?" Yes. "So it's not $80k per year, but $100k this year, and $210k next year, and $221k the year after, and around $240k the year after that?" Yes.
