CRISES AVERTED? NOT A CHANCE !!!

THE GOVERNOR, THE MTA PRESIDENT AND THE UNION PRESIDENT ALL
 STOOD TOGETHER TO HAPPILY ANNOUNCE A COMPROMISE.......
IF THE UNION WORKERS GOT A RAISE (AND THEY DID), THEN THERE WAS
NO COMPROMISE. THE GOVERNOR SOLD YOU RAIL ROAD CUSTOMERS OUT.
THEY SAID THAT THERE WILL BE NO FARE INCREASES,, SO THAT MEANS
THAT THE MONEY FOR THE RAISES HAS BEEN GUARANTEED FROM STATE 
FUNDS (TAXES).....THE GOVERNOR WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES TO GIVE SALARY
INCREASES AND BENEFITS TO A BUNCH OF OVERPAID AND UNGRATEFUL
PEOPLE. YOUR TAXES MAY NOT GO UP TOMORROW, NEXT MONTH OR NEXT
YEAR; BUT GUARANTEED ONE DAY THE NEXT GOVERNOR WILL TELL YOU
THAT THERE IS A MULTIPLE BILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT THAT WILL REQUIRE
YOUR TAXES TO GO UP; AND YOU WON'T REMEMBER THE UNION RAISES
THAT PUT THE STATE IN A DEFICIT.

WHAT HAPPENED TODAY WAS A THREE RINGED CIRCUS. THAT'S WHY THE GOVERNOR HAD TO GET INVOLVED. THE TWO SIDES WERE INTRANSIGENT,
BECAUSE OF THE MONEY ISSUE. THE GOVERNOR HAD THE KEY TO THE
VAULT....YOUR POCKETS,, YOU PEOPLE GOT PLAYED AGAIN.........
