BJ - good points. As long as democrats are in charge, salaries will increase, taxes will increase and NOTHING will get done except for the increase in regulations.

Well written, BJ Collins. Chances are that most, if not all, you hard-earned money will be given to ever-increasing union salaries, pensions, and benefits. Just take a look at transit unions who operate at 100% with 50% or less ridership. These transit companies will never practice fiscal management – their first option is to ask taxpayers for more. Vote NO on any taxes.
