Charlie – He has to break the unions because they are breaking the taxpayer. Do you even know what that means? We are in a recession, if we ever want to dream about pulling out, we need strong leadership like over there. Everyone likes our governor here in NJ and I don’t know why. He doesn’t have the guts to do what the Wisconsin gov. is doing, so therefore we have the highest property taxes in the whole country.
“In public safety agencies, it is essential to have generous early retirement, lest you have 59 year old firefighters with heart disease trying to carry you out of a burning building, and 59 year old police officers with heart disease trying to subdue a criminal who is resisting arrest. The early retirement is for the good of the agency.”
Another outrageous comment. Your wifes’ a doc -I think she should retire now. I wouldn’t want a doc having a heart attack when they are in the middle of dealing with an emergency.
Let the unhealthy public servants stop going to donut shops and start exercising. The cops should be required to Walk the beat. The FF’s should actually exercise instead of eating and watching TV during their downtime.
