Union Bosses and City Pols will get together behind closed doors. There they will design a scheme that will benefit each of them personally in both political and monetary terms.

Both sides will step before a microphone and announce that a solution has been found that is the best interest of the “community.” (I am hating that word)

The rank and file officers will be left wondering what happened as they are ordered to resume revenue collection through petty law enforcement.

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! You read my thoughts exactly.

Union leadership will do what they always do - posture for more lucrative contract(s).

Call me a cynic, but I fear the rank & file, as well as the law-abiding citizenry of NYC will be sold down the river. Say hello ... again ... to the days of David Dinkins.
