The end of the week marks the end of jobs for nearly 900 state workers being laid off...Don't look for a reprieve from the new Governor, as I am sure the cuts have the tacit OK of Andrew Cuomo.
A candlelight vigil will be held at the Capitol on Friday night....I doubt too many state workers will sacrifice their New Year's Eve for such a show...
Too bad there were no candlelight vigils for all the private sector jobs lost in NY due to the policies that led to the budget crunch that led to these layoffs.

To bad for the workers, funny were in a Budget Crisis, but we'll still have PORK to spend.
I challenge anyone to list the 900 who lost their jobs. Every one I know just started the bumping process. It will be months, years, before anyone loses a job. Even then, I doubt it will happen. By then there will be other positions to move into. Some people may have to drive a little farther. But even they will have state cars or get milage checks. This entire situation will be used for what it is, a propaganda opportunity. You people are so stupid. Please remain stupid for a little while longer.
No We are not Stupid. I think another 900 should be let go. I say privatize most of it.
Your correct with that assumption.. All the tough talk in SLC and they found money for raises for three and four years.. The legislators lied to the public and the unions but the unions showed greed in these contracts. The bottom line is no one lost their job.. No job cuts were made. Services wernt cut. This thirty day freeze has been in place for twenty years or more.. Even then they ignore it at times. Bottom line.. Taxpayers got screwed again..
Just like the school cuts. Channel 7 and the MSM last spring puked up endless stories about job losses in the schools. They didn't happen. And you will hear the same thing this spring from the cheerleading media. It's for the children.
