STRIKE!!!

So the transit workers union is about three hours away from a strike. You can read here for all of the details. I'm not sure where I stand on the whole thing. I know for certain that MTA is crooked, what with the LYING about their budget over the last couple of years. So I guess that puts me on the side of the workers. (FOR THE PEOPLE!!!) The whole thing seems a little ridiculous to me. I guess because I don't know what a "fair" amount of pension would be, or which year is the most fiscally responsible year to begin paying out a pension.

I did find this blog when I was looking for information though. Keep in mind there is always a battle with the "Upstate" New Yorkers and the "New York City" New Yorkers about how much the state spends on the MTA and the Subway system. The "Upstater's" always think that they pay too much in taxes for a transportation system they don't even use. The "New Yorkers" realize that without New York City, the State of New York wouldn't be nearly as powerful as it is now and they should just be quiet. Hehe.
