Marcy,

  No. I took that part out. We aren't asking people to sign the rebuttal, only asking for their input. I could add that their input is welcome even if they don't get back to us in time for it to be considered for the rebuttal (which seems almost a given at this point).

  I do think we've already made progress on revising the rebuttal. No reason to go back to square one on that. I think we may still have some disagreement on whether it's better for the city government to pay for health care benefits out of the general fund or out of the retiree health care trust fund. But since Matt and I have been dialoguing about that, no one else that I've seen has specifically said which interpretation they think makes more sense.

  If you (or others) have time to review our recent messages, input from additional persons would be helpful in developing a consensus on that. Barring a formal vote of the officers, I'm assuming we'll just want to informally agree to go with whichever interpretation seems to have more people speaking in favor of it.

Love & Liberty,

Hi Starchild,

Thanks for your patience with my impatience. I obviously have not read the proposition as carefully as you and Matt have; and therefore, do not see as much connection between the question you are posing and the question voters are being asked to decide upon on the proposition. But in hopes that you will soon declare this rebuttal done, I will provide an answer: it is better that each group only draw from their own fund. Especially, as I said before, the City might soon be faced with a sudden onslaught of unfunded retiree health care as a result of City College staff retiring early should the school close.
