Subject: Fwd: FISCALWATCH MEMO 2004-04 Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2004 18:32:12 -0500 To: Ron Moore , From: Bob Armstrong Ron & Jak , I never contacted McMahon because I never got a reply from Jak with links to the NYC financial web pages he found . I could probably find them myself , but I'm past solo acts . I do think Ron's notion of producing competent analysis of NYC's finances is very powerful and I'm ready to help with what I'm best at . But not without a purpose leading to a "product" . Please let me know if anything is actually moving forward . In any event , I've appended the link to McMahon's latest report : --- Original Message --- From: "NYFiscalWatch.Com"= To: NYFiscalWatch.Com Sent: Mon, 22 Mar 2004 14:40:54 -0500 Subject: FISCALWATCH MEMO 2004-04 >=A0FISCALWATCH MEMO =A02004-04 >=A0Published =A0by NYFISCALWATCH.COM by =A0Edmund J.
