The American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees (AFSCME) launched a national ad calling for Congress to provide $1 trillion in financial assistance to states, cities, towns and school districts in the next coronavirus relief package.
The union that represents public sector workers will stress that without more funding, its members will be laid off or furloughed and schools wont be able to open safely, according to plans first shared with The Hill.
The coronavirus is wrecking state and local budgets. If the Senate doesnt act, it will mean painful cuts to essential public services across America. Fewer teachers and nurses, longer response times, dirtier streets but some say our states should just go bankrupt, the ad says, referring to remarks from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in April that local governments could declare bankruptcy.

Stealing from those who save for spending not actually allowed by the Constitution.
FDRs lawlessness is complete and all it took was scared people forgetting that the business of America is business, not being safe.

Nope
FU
You exercised your so called sovereign authority
Print your own money
Good opportunity to brake the public employee’s union. There shouldn’t be a national public employee’s union in this country and there damned sure better not be a public funded bailout for it. Get rid of the AFLCIO, period! If there is to be unions, they should be in-house individual businesses unions comprised of employees of said business only.
Hey AFSCME...GO FU*K YOURSELVES!
Will they give a rebate on School tax ??!!??
Stop the lockdown and open up the economy and we wont need federal bail out debt.
So they have money for a national ad.......
Tell Robby Soave that the ISD’s need to be dismantled and the property owners refunded their school tax.
That’s what I’m waiting for. We are paying for empty schools, parked school busses and wages of people who are doing absolutely nothing for their check. Actually that’s a good thing. They’re just like congress- the less they do the better off we are. They have overdemanded their welcome.
Ask Nancy Pelosi for the money. She just made $6 million on Amazon stock. That’s a start anyway.
I heard that the “key atomic benefits office of mankind”, also known as KABOOM, also wants some money
That was in the naked gun 2 and a half :-)
Get revenue by permitting business to reopen.
“Let’s just call it “De-funding”.”
Excellent! Perfect! +10
End government employee unions. Now!
It’s about time these people had skin in the game. If the money is not there, they need to be laid off like the rest of America’s workers. If closed businesses and laid-off workers can’t generate tax revenue, these government employees have to be likewise kicked to the curb to join the others who are suffering.
Hey I’m all for it, but what about people paying property taxes that don’t have kids in school?
no way, your let them burn your cities down, ya’ll are on the hook!
I worked for a city for 15 years and can tell you there are people on the payroll that we didn’t know what they did. The administrator that oversaw my guys had a degree in hospitality and did know anything about water distribution.
