NONE OF YOU SEEM TO BE GETTING THE POINT. HOW CAN YOU SUBMIT A SPECIFIC REQUEST TO SPEAK FOR AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA BEFORE THE AGENDA IS EVEN AVAILABLE. JESUS, DO I HAVE TO USE CHARTS, GRAPHS, MULTI-MEDIA AND A BULLHORN?
REQUEST TO SPEAK - MUST BE SUBMITTED 7 DAYS PRIOR TO THE MEETING AND SPECIFIC AS TO THE TOPIC TO BE DISCUSSED.
AGENDA- 48 HOURS (THAT'S 2 DAYS FOR THOSE OF YOU A LITTLE CHALLENGED) PRIOR TO THE MEETING,
NOW I KNOW THAT MOST OF YOU WHO POST HERE ARE PSYCHIC, BUT FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE NOT, IT'S A LITTLE CHALLENGING TO "GUESS" WHAT IS GOING TO BE ON THE AGENDA AND WHETHER OR NOT WE WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT.
Hope that clears things up.
And what has either have to do (population growth-most RTW states are in the sunshine belt-Duh. Lower union membership-who the hell in their right mind pays for something they can get for free; until it's gone.) with putting more money in the worker's pocket?
Are you the owner or Pontiff? What is your definition of "small business"? How many employees do you have? Is someone holding a gun to your head, or do you want to be the owner? Are you profitable? If so, is it due to your superior management skills alone, or do your employees maybe have a little something to do with it as well? Kinda pisses you off that some workers have some rights while working under a contract, doesn't it? Did you know most CEO's work under contract? You don't think any of your employees don't have any skin in the game? TRY GETTING ALONG WITHOUT ANY!!
You forgot operating engineers, carpenters, electricians, laborers, iron workers, plumbers, sheet metal workers, healthcare workers, actors, machinists... Millions of people across the country and hundreds of thousands in the state. Yes, they mostly support Dems, but that support comes from the membership. On the other hand, ONE person basically supported the new governor financially. HIMSELF! Most members get out of the union what they put into it. I think I get your drift
The whole issue here is being denied the ability to speak in regards to a very important issue. Doesn't anyone else find it odd that you have to submit a request to speak in relation to an issue BEFORE you even know what is on the meeting's agenda? ONLY IN GOOD OL' ADAMS COUNTY. WHERE THE GOOD OL' BOYS AREN'T ALWAYS SO GOOD, THE POOR STAY THAT WAY, AND THE REST ARE CLUELESS. GOOD DAY, AND GOD BLESS!
Instead of you asking the "beneficiaries" of the government entities to lower their collectively bargained benefit of a defined benefit pension, why not elevate you retirement vehicle from a shitty defined contribution plan (that will probably run out before you die and leave your sole income source of Social Security, another socialistic program, and leave the state and federal taxpayers to foot the bill for your sorry ass in a nursing home) to a defined benefit plan?
Who is "State Budget Solutions" and what is their agenda?
