    I disagree that there is limited interest in legislation or the 'peons' bringing up the subject.  Often I do see management of time being the operational effort, but when a limited number of persons are available, there is a genuine willingness to listen.  Its one of the reasons I try not to interact all the time with the special guests brought in to such affairs.  It gives others a better opportunity to meet and exchange ideas.

    As for juiced pensions, I have argued consistently for a 100% and complete change over to defined contributions ever since I had the most basic understanding of what that is.  POB (Pension Obligation Bonds) efforts are a potential disaster waiting to happen however.  Government in ANYONE's hands has the ability to view a positive cashflow as a means to expansion of services.  A POB might actually trigger growth in general government operations in small communities.  

    Otherwise the way things are, contracts are contracts until a bankruptcy judge says they are not.  We cannot however continue the same bad practices, and some of the younger generations will in fact be paying for the sins of the father (so-to-speak).  Shared sacrifice?  I understand where you are coming from (I think), but have not seen any suggestions how to resolve, so will wait to see your versions.  I am assuming you have not commented or been vocal or organized in any way up until this commentary.  Correct me if I am wrong.

    And Clint's hot dog stand is a business, and he was  licensed to operate there. Conspiratorial pondering is likely misplaced.  The organizations like AFP are funded heavily by Americans who see government being corrupted by power and money, and logically must fight such corruption with same.  Consider that at least two break out sessions in the Orlando events addressed 'cronyism', and the Mackinac center does the same regularly, it seems the operational motives are clearer than you posit.  

    Are there people who want to be more special than others?

    Of course.  Sometimes a leadership position might be coveted, and a healthy distrust of motive now-a-days might well be appropriate.

    As for Shuitmaker and Bolger on Fox?  I don't watch much Fox news any longer.  I wish I had known.
