    I'm with ya biker!
    Fire all public employees and turn it into a competative open market from the private sector.
    Things would get done in a more efficient manner with less waste.
    Then if things get corrupt we can actually put people in jail.
    Unlike the gang of thiefs we have now!

    If we didn't have a control board wages wouldn't of been frozen Jim now would they? Is the cost of the control board less than all the money saved from raises? Remember those raises contribute into thier retirement and all, so in the long run a dollar an hour raise lasts a lifetime not just the 20 years they work until retirement.

    A lot of them are not. Some of them were political suck ups when they were younger. Some never even had a real job in the private sector before becoming a public employee. Maybe that's why some of them don't like to be held accountable for thier work. They were never in the private sector to know that you have to be accountable for the work you do.

    Nope BTTB,

    You know better then that.
    That would mean the public employees, would actually have to compete for their jobs.
    Oh hold it! I get it! A halloween scare for public employees!
    The scepter of competition!
    BOO!

    You need a moron like Giambra and Holt to hack away at the parasites.

    You didn't need a control board to freeze wages. City Blue didn't get a raise for three out of the four years before the control board came in. The year we did it was one percent.
