Other Issues, posted by Editor, Mountain View Voice Online, on May 22, 2009 at 5:52 pm

The massive overtime fraud by public employee union members must be stopped. The wholesale trading of time so that a 40 hour week results in massive overtime with time worked only 2.5 days is criminal. Additionally, the fact that there are so many workers and yet massive overtime is still accumulated points to nothing other than organized crime against the California taxpayer. Cutting all overtime will save possibly billions as salaries of $60,000 plus benefits will no longer mean $150,000 plus benefits.

Good luck California. You brought this upon yourself by not getting to the polls and not doing your research. Now the state that used to be the envy of all others is the laughingstock. How sad for you.

Republicians will soon get what they think they want ..no government order or standards, every person for himself. Stupid, selfish, and doomed.

Time to get rid of the stupid and useless agricultural checkpoints that waste massive amounts of taxpayer dollars and accomplish nothing.
