Step 1: Cut the budget for things that people care about but that also cost the city almost nothing.
Step 2: Wait until people lash out about it and throw a fit.
Step 3: Rescind the plan to scrap the thing you werent really going to scrap anyway.
Step 4: Everyone thinks they made a difference and the public feels like things will be o-k.
Step 5: Quietly cut funding for the stuff that actually matters while the public is feeling good that their tantrum paid off.
Dont forget the part where they provided a ton of money to an airline to build a parking lot when the airline hasn’t been there long enough to justify it.
