Paterson Will Face Plot To Boost Outlays

When things are good the public employees unions demand more-- When the economy heads south
the public employee unions demand more. Normal households make decisions based on real dollars. But , oh!no not the unions . Bloated , over paid and under worked , more time off, earlier retirements on and on they go. AND you know what , so do hundreds of thousands of taxpayers go, leaving the state they cannot afford to live in. These weak kneed politicians continue to sacrifice the private sector to appease the public sector. Will the last retiring public employee please turn off the lights??
