Why would they not be required to contribute to their own retirement like everyone else.

Back @ SW You are so right maybe we can tell the immigrants after 10 years we will make them citizens and then in 9 years we can change the rules just like super scott is doing to the POOR gov. workers. The county must have lots of money they are not hardly paying their workers, but we have millions to build new parks.

@Joe,

I guess they’ll have to hire illegal immigrants; they do the jobs Americans don’t want to do…right?

tamijane I am with you. My husband is a state employee too. Not only is he taking money, but they have not had raises in years. We struggle to keep our home out of foreclosure and when the gas prices increase it really kills us. My husband works hard in the sun and on the roads to clean them and make things safe for the people in our area, but he gets nothing notta zippo zilch not even a bonus as an incentive to continue employment with the state. I wonder what the governor would do if all the state workers decided to find jobs that really paid.

Have you ever wondered why we are so complacent as Americans? We stand in front of the bus now and let it run over us, instead of getting out of the way. The whole goal of Scott is to privatize the whole state system with Geo and a medical company that is private in each prison, he will then take it to the County jails.
Kickbacks are a plenty. We keep electing millionaires to office who do not have our interest at heart, how could they? We are to blame for electing them to office in the first place because they have the money to reach out and touch us.
It’s up to us to contact our legislature and raise our collective voices or socialism is upon us.

Why don’t we just empty the state and federal treasuries to every government employee and entitled person-one time, just divide it up- and call it even?

After that, the US can just bust up into small countries and start all over; new names, new constitutions/charters, new cultures.

You think it’s bad but it only gets worse as we privatize and more fingers need to get in the pot. Kick backs to be had and profits at any cost.

How about an Airport in Okaloosa or maybe a prison in Milton called Blackwater.

Hello Tamijane, I see the prices on everything going up. I reallly feel for people with children. The ever increasing cost of cloths, school supplies and after the basics of survival, little is left for recreation and enrichment activities. The dollar is on it’s way down, or out I am afraid. Vote and Keep faith with the Lord.

No. Be glad people do this job for little pay and now even less pay what will you do when no one wants this job? maybe we can turn them all loose.

Yes, we are thankful that my husband has his job @ the prison, but, we struggle to feed our children, keep a roof over our heads, and pay our bills. We have lived paycheck-to-paycheck for years and now this man wants to take more out of it!

I would love for him to live our life for one month, he couldn’t handle one week! He would go screaming back to Tallahassee and his MONEY!
