...campaign speeches, Collins has reiterated this idea constantly: even with the most rigid economies possible in the city government's operation, only a few dollars could be saved; additional revenue--i.e. the sales tax--alone can and must be found to reduce the tax rate and to end the upward spiral...
...Discord and controversy had marked it since the day it was commissioned 16 years ago.

Paintings were to be tilted backward, "as on the artist's easel"; lighting would come from skylights above the ramp and would be reflected downward by louvers.

But over the same span, the outgo estimate has also crept upward by $1.9 billion, reaching $78.9 billion. Biggest reason for the outgo increase: rising interest rates, upping the cost of carrying the national debt for the fiscal year from $8 billion to $9 billion. Net result of the higher income and outgo estimates: the budget still shows the skimpy surplus, about...
