House lawmakers voted overwhelmingly last night to strip police officers, teachers, and other municipal employees of most of their rights to bargain over health care, saying the change would save millions of dollars for financially strapped cities and towns.



Where are the huge protests? Where are the fleeing legislators? The Death threats and Nazi comparisons? Michael Moore? Oh wait it's ok when the Dem's do it.

That Politico story doesn't address Mass. as far as I can see.

"It's pretty stunning,'' said Robert J. Haynes, president of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO. "These are the same Democrats that all these labor unions elected. The same Democrats who we contributed to in their campaigns. The same Democrats who tell us over and over again that they're with us, that they believe in collective bargaining, that they believe in unions. . . . It's a done deal for our relationship with the people inside that chamber.''

Nobody has any money. There's a lot of things i'd like to have, but at the end of the day I have to live within my means. Why should the state be any different. It's not an issue of partisanship or red versus blue, it's sorry we just cant do it right now
