Notice how 2 of these items relate to the salaries and benefits of state employees? I've also noticed that these are the two most powerful unions that - quite honestly - have gotten their way in just about every contract negotiation the last 5 years. But nobody cared back in the time of milk and honey. I warned you all then - and now it's come true - we'll soon be drowning in the debt of the poor decisions to appease their every whim. Now these folks have benefits and money guaranteed more than any of us hard working folks that actually pay their salaries. Time to put a stop to their pillaging of our state funds getting every benefit while basic services are going unfunded.
