I have not yet met Mr. Sloane, but I am pleased that someone with a strong financial background is running for alderman. It has been obvious for some time that the current Council lacks the financial acumen to perform the types of meaningful probes into financial issues which are necessary to further the City's financial health. Two striking examples are, of course, the under-scrutinized ERI plan--which no one appears to deem a succcess--and the police/fire pension fund debacle.

I look forward to meeting Mr. Sloane.
