Ruh Roh Rorge! Monica Conyers used to be on the pension board, I think she just got out of prison for taking bribes. Can she be tried for more crimes, or is this double jeopardy?
To: Kartographer
Just outlaw public employee unions and the economy will head up like a rocket.

I’ve said all along that this would be the direction an emergency manager would need to take. Slowly increase the pressure and when the rats break cover, start stomping them.
I think we’re about 2 months away from seeing the first criminal charges.

Just oulaw automatic deductions for union dues.
Make members pay them.

Outlaw mandatory public unions. NOBODY should have to be a member of a union.
