Ok. The voters have spoken. Issue 2 has failed and now we all have to deal with the consequences.. Please remember next spring or fall when you have a school levy or hospital levy…. Perhaps then, when there is the cry of “it’s for the children” and there will be that cry, you remember the way our nurses, teachers and public employees chose to vote. I will certainly be advocating a NO vote on all levies. If they take away our tools to cut spending then I say take away their ability to raise our taxes. Levies are taxes people. Nicer name, but same thing. And when you see the sign, it won’t raise your taxes, replace that with, it will lower your taxes if it fails. It is time for our public employees to see the ramifications of this action. I feel bad for those that will be laid off starting next year, I really do. They have only the remaining workers of their union to thank. Nuff said.

Update…. Middletown lays off 9 firemen… and police… wow, that wasn’t supposed to happen without sb5. I wonder how these poor guys feel now that they realize they were used. Don’t come crying to me, we told you so.
