The 2013 City of London budget process clearly showed that there are difficult choices that all of us must make.  And with all choices, there are implications.  I had a very uneasy feeling though,  that the impact of the implications weren’t really thought through.

This is not to say that the choices in and of themselves were necessarily good or bad.  Just that we didn’t have a really good discussion of what the implication of those choices really mean.  Perhaps council and all of us really didn’t understand.  And a couple of years from now, when the impact of the implications are seen, we will have forgotten the choices made in the 2013 budget.

More to come…
