why don’t you cut the senator/legislator salaries and expense accounts. Lets see, 150k salary, 150k “expense account” 5000 expense account for “family meals” cars, free haircuts 1x a week…give me a break, you want to save, that’s where to cut, the people in the legislature…you could save a bundle.

patrick< r.i.p. can not happen. from 2009 rip, those paid extra to go, were hired back as consultants. not only is state paying their pension, it is now paying their salary.I am sure the unions wouldn’t hide another backroom deal from their members again like last year. i watched several retire in April with no words of warning from union who was negotiating the r.i.p. at the same time. like the article says, no negotiations.

Talked it over at work> not many people are willing to give anymore. the furlough days, the extra medical costs and the fat at the top grew even more .

true, we agreed to concessions. and i’m not saying we should willingly give more.

but i happen to know alot of people at many different agencies because i have been around a while and due to some past assingments, and i think that another RIP would do wonders for the state.

let’s make it attractive and move some significant numbers. it will allow opportunities for the rest of us.
