The NY Post Skews Reality on the Backs of Teachers (Again)

 One of my daily rituals is to read the New York Post. I also subscribe to the New York Times. If I am to be honest, I enjoy the Post much more. I think it’s because I’m allowed to argue and fight with the overwhelming amount of absurdly moronic readers of that venue. They have a comment section that seems to attract every neanderthal in the New York region. The sparring is quite addictive and enjoyable. Check out the latest - an incredibly shortsighted biased article that moved my blood pressure up this morning. The author’s bit on healthcare coverage was especially infuriating . One of the commenters, a Horace Mann, mentions something in the comments that I found very interesting —

Unlike pensions, the state constitution doesn’t guarantee ..

Hmm. I shall search for that disgraceful, special interest, taxpayer hostile provision .. Yep. There it is. Article 5 §7:

After [7/1/40], membership in any pension or retirement system of the state or of a civil division thereof shall be a contractual relationship, the benefits of which shall not be diminished or impaired.

It looks like the communists pushed this through in NYS' Constitutional Convention of '38. Outrageous. Abolish PERS. Oh, and gov't workers and their financial dependents should NOT be allowed to vote in a GE.”


Read the entire article at your own risk. https://nypost.com/2023/06/18/with-no-room-to-raise-taxes-where-will-adams-find-the-money-for-his-pricey-union-deals/?utm_source=url_sitebuttons&utm_medium=site%20buttons&utm_campaign=site%20buttons
