[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elrich is the unions' meal ticket. Their mudslinging has started. I don't know if MoCo residents will ever wake up to local politics.  [/quote]

Almost none of the actual union members live in the county.  I don't know how they have so much pull locally.[/quote]

Nice try.  Union employees' salaries are public information. They [b]make plenty of money[/b] to live in MoCo and their pensions and benefits are what is decimating the county budget.  90% of MCPS's $3 Billion annual budget goes towards salaries and benefits. That is ludicrous.  And that alone is 50% of the county's budget. [/quote]

Hardly any police, fire, or jail guards live in the county.   [/quote]

+1 the vast majority of county employees make between $50k-$79k. Now many of them do get extra for overtime, but cutting that won't be a savings because they would just have to hire more people. I don't know how you expect to retain people if you significantly cut compensation (which will never happen).

Government is in the service industry. The main cost is personnel. That's always going to be true.
