I would love for an ambitious Attorney General  to stand up for the Taxpayer.  If you are receiving taxpayer dollars on a disability pension and you are not in fact disabled, then you are simply committing a fraud on the taxpayer.  Criminals generally go to jail.  Why is it different in the Union contract?  If you rob a bank you go to jail.  Berny Maddoff, he is in jail.  How is it a guy who runs marathons or competes in Triathlons can receive a TAX FREE pension for being disabled?  It is a fraud, very simple.  If I did that I would be thrown in jail.  Someone needs to stand up for the taxpayer who is being cheated left and right by those who are cheating and lying by collecting Pensions on a lie!  Same goes for the workers who work massive overtime in the year before retirement.  Then the pension they receive is based on this inflated income.  I know the argument is that it is written into a valid contract.  But how is this a valid contract?  Who are the politicians who negotiated this contract?   Don’t they have a fiduciary responsibility to the taxpayers?  If they have broken the public trust and worse committed a crime by completely disregarding their fiduciary responsibility then they should be held accountable.  Additionally, these contracts should be contested by the Taxpayer in court.  There is no way these would stand up under scrutiny in a fairness to taxpayer suit.

Going to see the kids at camp this weekend then spending time upstate.  I think I will bring my instrument so I can keep practicing.  That is the nice thing about having an electric/acoustic.  You do not have to have the amp, just the Guitar.  Speed drills hurt but really help.  No pain no gain!@#$%
