The Latest 5/1/11

Pink slips came out this week in Belleville. All non-tenured and supervisors were handed their RIF papers. Let's all keep them in prayer that they will be called back to work.
It seems that Sweeney has decided that his bill which I detailed in an earlier April blog, will be passed by the end of June. The primary races will be over, but the general elections won't happen until November. Let's keep our eyes open. Be alert and watch to see who votes for you. They don't deserve our votes if they can't find their way to support us. Apparently the healthcare and pension will be joined together in his bill. A two-fer I guess. How much money will we who are public workers lose from our paychecks. It will be a financial loss no matter how you look at it. Will it affect the amount of pension public workers will receive? You betcha!
There was another bill passed on to the governor's desk for his signature which says that if you are a public worker and you work in Jersey, you must live in Jersey. It's only fair. It's a tax thing you know. Otherwise it wouldn't matter where you live.

KEEP LIVING, KEEP LOVING, KEEP PRAYING, KEEP LOOKING UP!
