[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cut their salaries. Increase their health care costs. Reform pensions.

Enough is enough. The entire DMV economy is going through a recession.  They can't keep bleeding taxpayers to enrich themselves.  Taxpayers are not cash cows with unlimited money they can bleed dry. They're lucky they simply have a job.

MCPS employees are not "enriching themselves" but compensation costs are too high given the stagnant tax base. If tax revenues crater due to DOGE things will get really bad fast and the more they increase spending now, the fewer options we will have in the future [/quote]

If you are raising salaries while the entire economy around you is crumbling and there is massive job loss, you are enriching yourself. Period.  MoCo cops and teachers are lucky they even have jobs and a salary.  The idea of raising taxes so they can get salary boosts while everyone else is unemployed is absolutely DISGUSTING.  They can pound sand. They have some money to buy food while there is about to be thousands of people that have $0 to buy food. And they want people with $0 to pay more tax? F YOU. [/quote]

Good lord, are you okay? Obviously, individual police and teachers and firefighters do not determine their own raises. I understand your anger, but I recommend directing it to the County Executive and Board of Education, who agreed to these raises knowing the current situation with federal cuts and layoffs (and most infuriating, he claimed the probable extending Trump tax cuts somehow makes up for the county tax increase.

Don't blame low level first responders and teachers, wtaf is wrong with you. Even the unions likely made these demands before we knew how bad things might be. [/quote]
