The Golden Goose

The Public Employee and Teachers Unions are very upset over Governor Cuomo's efforts to control expences by seeking concessions and changes with taxpayer funded salaries and benefits. Both of these are far above workers in the private sector. Unfortunately, in the past, school boards and the government caved in on pressure from the union bosses and let pay and benefits get way out of control. Many public employees are allowed to work extra overtime hours in the last three years of their careers to greatly increase their retirement pay. There needs to be reform and a cap put on retirement pensions. Governer Cuomo is doing what is right for his State and it's citizens. The Unions are greatly upset with him and his actions. It was these same Unions that poured large sums of money into helping Mr. Cuomo get elected. They asked for it and paid for it. And it is happening in States all across the Union. The time for change is now, before the Golden Goose is dead. Right on Andrew Cuomo! ------Grandpa Gordon
