Next contract, when you guys are looking for a raise, and the politicians say "There's no money in the budget..." at least you won't have to wonder about where all the money goes...
According to the Boston Globe, Congress just passed a new highway bill that includes 6,376 'pork barrel' projects. Among them:
$5.9 million for a snow mobile trail in Vermont
$2.75 million for the National Packard Museum in Ohio
$223 million for a mile long bridge to serve an island in Alaska inhabited by 50 people....
And there's no money for Cops???
The unions should be pitching a fit over stuff like this, but hardly anyone even knows...
Good luck on your next contract..You are all worth every cent and much more
