What private pensions? Where have you been the last 20 years? You are not concerned about the loss of pensions in the private sector and the lack of good health care benefits for private employees? Are you just glad that public employees are going to feel your pain too?

Cops on minimum wage...like I said about the Third Worldization of the USA.
A cop making $7 an hour can pull someone over,take $20 bucks from the driver and not give a ticket to the driver. Oh the dispatcher and the cam monitors will be on the take too since they are probably getting paid the same.Race to the bottom...
