Has Wkgn. Hired Private Contractors after LAYING OFF workers

[WT Reader]

I dread being the first one to tell you this, oh dear city employee, The private sector employees have all lost their jobs and the tax base is shrinking by the day. Your livelyhood depends on a vibrant private sector who pays the taxes that cover your wages and benefits. When we get laid off so do you. Because the upper tier of government workers are more important than you are, even though they are the cause of this economical dilemma, they will circle their wagons and protect their birthright. So, wise up, like some of us have, and join a local 9-12 organization and pitch in to help dig ourselves out of the deep hole that we now find ourselves in. The Economic Director is drawing almost 150K a year. I'm sure you appreciate all that this person has contributed to the betterment of our community these last several years. Why does everybody whine about the dreary situation facing this community and continue to reelect the same dreary people, election after election? All I can tell you is this: The bigger government grows, the more money they need to fund their operation, and we(the private sector employees) will have less money to bring home.

So what is the M O of this local "9-12 organization" "to help dig ourselves out of the deep hole that we now find ourselve in"?

Is the M O totally nonviolent and fully law-abiding ???

I ask this question because you invite us to "join" such a "9-12 organization", and I really want to know. For I would NEVER join any organization that would either overtly or subtly advocate violence or work outside the law seek to redress perceived grievances.
