Used Their Budget Gimmicks

Yeah, New York City has definitely used all of their budget gimmicks which the Times has been talking about.
To critics of Mr. Bloomberg’s efforts to extend term limits, including some candidates who had prepared to run for mayor, the Doe Fund officials’ appearance [on Bloomberg’s behalf] amounted to a clear conflict of interest. For one thing, the organization, which has provided help to the homeless, drug addicts and ex-inmates for a quarter-century, has been awarded tens of millions of dollars in city contracts.
Clearly it isn’t a spending problem with clear winners and losers, it’s a revenue problem.
