Do they need any paper?

Public employees are like hoards of locusts. They won’t stop until they’ve eaten it all.

Judge Michael Barasse is an open enemy of the USA.

So when the unions “sell” everything, then what? Scranton turns into another Detroit?

Public sector unions should never have been allowed to exist. Even Franklin Delano Roosevelt knew they were a continuing criminal enterprise looking for a place to happen.

I wonder what the un-intended consequences of decisions like these will be?

Another question is can the citizens of a community like a city use the voting process to dissolve the bonds between the ‘entity’ of a city and themselves?

In any case I’m coming to the realization that perhaps the concept of cities as we have seen them grow in the last two-hundred years has become a very flawed one. Where a very small cabal of people can behave like the ‘lords of the manor’ in the feudal period.

Simple - turn the “keys” of the city over to the union and tell them, okay, you own it, you run it.

Sell off every Police Department structure.

The union corporation must be made to pay all the bad shooting awards paid in civil litigation.

Yet another example of "promise them anything/everything", and then when you can't "pay the piper", just say "oops"...what frosts me is, ALL ALONG I'm sure the promisers knew that eventually the promises couldn't be kept.

So now, what are they going to do?

Perhaps a federal "bankruptcy bail-out"? So my taxes can be diverted to Scranton? My own Ohio community needs all the tax money it can get, and I need all the money I can get to make it in this economy...this "top down" city/county/state/federal tax burden on anyone who makes ANY money at all has got to stop!!

A fine example why unions are a communist style disgrace to America.

It’s probably a safe bet that property taxes will skyrocket. It’s not free money.
