Re: Mo Money, Mo Money, said by stateofaffairs :
IF NYC WANTS TO SPEND MORE MONEY, IT COULD SUBSIDIZE THE HEALTHCARE OR WAGES OF MTA MUNICIPAL WORKERS. You raise an interesting point. The more the city government spends on useless projects like universal WiFi, the more the city unions will demand in terms of wages, especially since the city would be spending so much on such services. I remember when the Philadelphia city council voted itself a 15% pay hike, the city's unions all in turn asked for the same pay hike since they reasoned if the city had so much to spend on the council, then it could also be more generous to the workers. -- Rove / Rumsfeld 2008! |
