No, politicians sold out their taxbase by not reforming unsustainable and over-promising public pensions for years. The sooner they go away the better, no reason unions should be able to negotiate budget busting benefits, then run them poorly, and expect the majority of people without the sweet deal to have to bail them out while being responsible for their own 401ks and IRAs. Cronyism and special interests aren't just for corporations.

So it really doesn’t make sense to throw around the anti union bullshit. When you are more corrupt and inept than NY government, you need to look at how you elect your legislature.
