Hi....
I work at one of our state Agencies that has already been hack'n slashed back to below staffing levels when it was created 40 years ago.
Prior to working for the State I worked in progressively more responsible positions on the private side to the point where I was a project/office manager. I've seen and or done just about everything under the sun that my professional career gets involved in... 99% of it out side of NY.
I've come to realize (especially since moving to New York $tate) that government at a state and federal level (not all the programs) is FUBAR'd. I see our two faced Gov talking about preserving programs for the poor and tax relief for the rich... and then bending the middle class and State employees over a fence rail to be whipped and screwed... and it frustrates the hell out of me.
If this contract was shorter... and not negotiated with threats and wasn't choc-full o' givebacks I might have voted for it... if (and that's a big IF) we as the middle class weren't expected to fix the economy by our lonesome.
I'm not sure what else to say right now.
