Public Servant – the acrimony you hear is largely a result of the government, i.e., state, regional and local, taking advantage of those who put money into the coffers as if there is an inexhaustible supply of it. It is tragic that individual public servants will suffer in this process – I get it. However, if things don’t change and soon the only people left to tax will be the government workers….

I am an educator. I put myself through school, worked for nearly twenty years as a teacher, and now work as an administrator. I am watching and participating with great interest in the debate over my future and the future of our state. When pension reform hits, as it inevitably should, I hope the acrimonious attitudes of many of those who have already posted are ignored . What we need is real reform that doesn’t rely on hateful caricatures and conspiracy-mongers but takes into account the very-real commitments that have been made along the way, while addressing the problems that pensions contribute to the state fiscal crisis. The suggestion that there is an overt- or covert – plan to rape the system is not only irrational, but it is an insult to the many who provide the services that are routinely taken for granted.

Cut the pay, perks, pensions, and benefits to all RAGWUS feeders. Reduce the power of the police state, cut the power of the PIC and follow the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution. 🙂

Part time legislature. Strict term limits. Privatize prisons, infrastructure development and maintenance, DMV. School vouchers.

Cut nonprofit government grants to the bone!

In five years the entire RAGWUS will have devoured what is left of the private sector if extreme measures are not taken to reduce the costs of the individual RAGWUS feeders pay, benefits, perks, and pensions. 🙂
