Again, what you call tax cuts for the rich, I say it is allowing more people to keep more of their hard earned money. Also, tax cuts for business means they have more predictbility and capital to hire - to allow more jobs. So why would you want people in unions to get more benefits if it meant less people in the community could obtain employment....sounds selfish n the unions part...

Without the ability to make changes quick in teh future, and allowing towns to negotiate indidually, that hamstrings the taxpayers....sure, lets make things more balanced for the taxpayer....

also, what about the forced union dues and membership, how can that be justified, ...

Another one of those that believes tax cuts for the rich equates to jobs, history says otherwise, or didn't you know that.
