What Would You Like To See in Toledo's Budget?

I wonder what effect the privatization of garbage collection would have on our budget? Never mind if it would be worse than the "gold plated" service we have now, but would it make more sense in the long run. Would it be better for the city's government to privatize as many services as possible to save the future costs of health care, and retirement? Would it be better to arm the citizenry (such as giving them a rebate for the purchase of a "good" weapon) rather than relying on police to clean up after the fact? Is it cheaper to arm citizens at a discount than have police classes?

I read that many are disgusted with the leadership in city government. Where should the cuts be made? Are we paying too much (and how much) to the various managers in departments, and is the way around this to "farm out" operations to the private sector on the lowest bid possible. Would these private enterprises be subject to lawsuits (which the government is not), or would they freely operate under the flag of city government.
