A judge approved a plan for the city of Vallejo on Thursday, allowing them to emerge from a three-year bankruptcy.
When I asked if crime has risen as a result of the public safety cuts, Batchelor didn't say, only pointing out that the number of Neighborhood Watch groups has skyrocketed to 221. Residents "have had to take control of their own destiny."
In some cases, bondholders will only end up with about half of what they were originally owed. In other cases, the principal will be paid but the interest will be lowered and deferred.
Retirees and city workers who sought reimbursement for reduced pay and benefits will get about 30 cents on the dollar, according to the city's bankruptcy attorney.
Vallejo's city manager would disagree. "We have been hit hard," he says. But when compared to the debt debate in Washington, DC right now, he says Vallejo is ahead of the game. "We're stable. We're sustainable. They're not. They can't help us."
