Time to File a Law Suit against the Lawmakers in New York

October 25, 2010 by Scott.

I just had to write something.  I really can not hold back anymore.  I am so frustrated and angry with the way the State of New York is run.  The whole system is so corrupt and it seems like there is no way to fix this!  The Unions own the Politicians and the Politicians really could care less about the tax payers.  In case you do not know by now, which means you have probably been spending the last decade vacationing on Mars, I will summarize it for you.  Our legislators, (Senators, Congress) are interested in one thing.  They would very much like to keep being re-elected so that they can continue to spend other peoples money. They know that only a very small percentage of the eligible voters actually vote and a good percentage of those that do vote are members of the public work force and thus members of the public Unions.  So all they have to do is give the Unions what they want and Viola they get to go back to Albany year after year and spend other peoples (your and mine) money.   Not a bad gig if you can get it .  Particularly when you consider that every raise, perk and Pension benefit that they are signing into law will acrue to themselves. Thats right folks the Fox is really watching the Chicken Coup in Albany! So rather then just rant I would like to propose a solution.  Here it is.  Pay close attention because I am only going to sy this once.  Someone will probably find me and do away with me when they get a load of this!In the world that I live in, it is called the U.S. of A, there are laws against conflicts of interest and fraud.  Generally speaking one can not negotiate when one is in a position to personally gain from those negotiations.  So I am advocating for a dismissal by our courts of every Union contract ever agreed to by the Senate of the State of New York under the grounds that they are illegal.  Negotiated by Senators who directly benefited from them to the detriment of the Taxpayers of the Great State of New York.That’s right, we are being asked to foot the bill for Billions of Dollars of Benefits (Pensions, Raises, Health Care Etc) that were agreed to by Men and Women who were supposed to be negotiating on the Taxpayers behalf.  Instead they were negotiating on behalf of the Unions and themselves with the Unions.  That is a fraud, a scam, a travesty of justice or whatever else you want to call it but it is certainly ILLEGAL under our laws and should be recognized as such. So it time for a Class Action Suit to be filed by the people of the State of New York against its elected officials using some of the logic above.  We need to stop being asked to pay for illegal contracts before there is nothing left! Any lawyers out there interested in a fight?  Please let me know.
