...agree that the council should fund nearly every dollar of every student group grant and host far more of its own projects, we doubt that the current council structure would allow them to do so efficiently. Already, council members’ time is spread so thin that mistakes of judgment and administration frequently happen regarding major projects. Just in the past couple months, the council has lost a cashbox, underestimated the popularity of its keg-return service turning what could be a money-making enterprise into a financial liability and raised eyebrows with the on-site organization of the Busta...

The agency's plan to limit the shortfall to €1.2 billion this year under the reform is now in jeopardy. It has appealed the Marseilles ruling, but if the initial judgment is upheld, chances are high that more and more jobless will be heading to court - or forcing a government climb-down through protests like that of the performing-arts workers. That would effectively neuter any hope of tackling the deficit. "A rich nation can't brazenly economize at the expense...
