They want to do away with red tape, bring salaries and benefits in state jobs back into line with the private sector

But they are part of the problem. My neighbor works for the State of New York and has benefits like no other job I have ever heard of. He has more time off (personal days, sick days, vacation days, political correct holidays) than any private job would provide. I love when he complains that the State would like them to kick in for more of their health insurance i.e co-payments for doctor appointments. He feels he is entitled to free everything.

Agree with article though that the problem lies with all those liars in Albany.

tell me about it....my slightly older sister just retired last June from teaching.....she got to take in almost 6 months "sick" leave pay and she was among the lucky people to have the old type pension which was quite lucrative, plus the great medical retirement....

she's in her 50's....

multiple her by thousands and thousands and there you have it......its like being in Communist Russia...if you play the game, and follow the communist manifesto, and support the good old union and the Democrap maifia.....you will be rewarded for being on the right side......

recently back in New York state, and I was amazed that they wanted to cut the taxes on some things like clothing and shoes, yet were planning on increasing property taxes, etc.....
