Ding, ding, ding! The money statement of the day! It seems every government employee was "promised" this or that...and no one wants to give anything up. Never do you see unions saying, "yes, we understand state revenues are lower since the recession started, so we're willing to give up some benefits."
It's more like, "you have less revenues? Not our problem, suckas!"
Dreamer, of course it is, they will be sending us the bill soon enough.
