That was fast. Last Thursday, Mayor Bill de Blasio informed the United Federation of Teachers that the city couldnt afford a $900 million bonus for union members. It took 24 hours for the union to knock this threat down and wring a better deal from out-of-work taxpayers.
The state must step in.
How did New York City end up on the hook for a near-billion-dollar payment during the worst fiscal crisis ever?
You can thank de Blasio. In Mayor Mike Bloombergs final term, the global economy melted down and Bloomberg told teachers that if they wanted raises, they would have to pay for them through work-rule or benefits changes.

I love stories like these. It just shows that these people are willing to do anything to destroy the place in which they live. These people being uneducated, ignorant socialists. It’s really too bad that winter is approaching and the cold weather will put a damper on the smell of uncollected trash in NYC. These people are willing to live in their own filth. These people are willing to loot, riot, raze businesses, shut down the economy. And those that don’t actively participate allow it to happen. Shame on them. They deserve everything they get.
New York Mafia lets De Blasio know who runs the city.
When it comes to cities, you can’t assume the taxpayers and the voters are one and the same. Liberals dominate cities because a mass of people contributing little or nothing are simply voting themselves goodies from other peoples’ (and more importantly, COMPANIES’) taxes. Any sound fiscal conservative simply has his/her vote drowned by a deluge of gibsmedats’ votes.
That is why the Founding Fathers didn’t allow taxpayers to vote; “representation without taxation” is even worse than “taxation without representation”.
Prolly in the couch cushions, next to those trillion 0bama bucks.
NYS still doesn’t have 900 mil lying around.
And we can’t print it.
That deal was illegal as heck.
Wonder if NYS taxpayers can take this to court to get the deal voided....
God knows we’re the ones being harmed.
They’ll borrow it - that is the Dem state (and county, and municipal) way.
There has been no shrinking of the gubmint workforce in response to the very real fall in tax revenues; I haven’t seen a single story of gubmint layoffs. There may be some, but none that have made the news. My property taxes didn’t go down, though they closed parks and such.
If they did they won’t live to tell about it.
