State Employees Can't Be Immune From Cutbacks


The state's workers and teachers should not be surprised that a sour economy would eventually erode their pensions. When a thriving economy brought new revenue to the state, employees and their unions negotiated better benefits and higher pay. So when times are bad, isn't it reasonable that their compensation be adjusted accordingly?

Hell no, it's not fair. If the govt would stop giving handouts to those who dont deserve it, maybe our state would be in better shape!
