I actually volunteered for 10 years in my community which should help me prove that I'm not in it for the money like the politicians in Ohio right now are trying to portray. I stay away from polarizing topics like this on my blog for the most part but I wanted to say something. Thanks, everyone.Epertasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201264771630506520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653289895722362588.post-36921449043308243172011-04-11T08:55:11.925-04:002011-04-11T08:55:11.925-04:00I can't thank you enough for your service. All...I can't thank you enough for your service. All of our servicemen and women deserve the world and it is so unfortunate how they keep cutting budgets for the most important things in our cities and towns. As citizens, you sign up to do it because you care enough to put your life in harm's way day in, day out. We can only hope that one day our elected officials gain some wisdom to get you all the budgetary turnaround necessary to match your devotion.Variance Publishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148721085606761314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653289895722362588.post-72405919552215006792011-03-10T20:32:42.755-05:002011-03-10T20:32:42.755-05:00We're always talking about this in school.

Even more unbelievable, the law was passed in Wisconsin recently, even though the democrats were hiding out to stop it.

While those with their hands on the money - bankers (spit!) politicians, etc, are the ones who get the largest slice of the pie. They're also the ones who continually try to stop the essential workers getting a decent salary by undermining the unions.<br />So I'm with you, Doug! You do a fabulous job that not many want to do, and your salary should reflect your true worth.Cas Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06191292674072265635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653289895722362588.post-70860313698373655702011-03-01T17:59:47.057-05:002011-03-01T17:59:47.057-05:00I'd like to stand up and shout "Yeah!&quo...I'd like to stand up and shout "Yeah!" after reading that.KaraYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17577985270107511455noreply@blogger.com
