Real civic minded of them, eh?
There is a huge difference between wise financial moves in a volatile market and milking the taxpayers’ teats for more graft.

Philly is a cesspool, an utter cesspool.
Government workers are not aware when there is a recession going on...nothing changes for them like it does in the private sector.

In this case they get a paid vacation at time and half!
A Completely Privileged Class, above you and me.
