We are in a period of DEFLATION. The cost of living is coming down. Housing is WAY down. Tax revenues are down. They will continue to drop for a long time. There is NO money for pay increases. The Officials should be cutting their own pay, DRASTICLY. Many cities are losing population, therefore, there is less need for services. The tax payer is NOT getting much if any in the way of raises so those who are PAID by the tax payer cannot expect any more.
I do not blame the union alone, although, they are a large part of the problem. As to the right to work bunch, NO one has the RIGHT to force me to belong to a Union IF I CHOOSE not too. It is most likely un-Constitutional to require union membership to have a job. Freedom is MORE important.
