Senators out of touch with reality
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
Why aren't the workers who had their pay cut 8 percent and the people who were dismissed from their jobs revolting in the streets?
After seeing the photos in The Daily News on Tuesday of the senators' government-owned SUVs and the huge buffet for the senators' meeting, and after reading the newspaper reports that "after weeks of meetings" the senators still can't come up with fiscal recovery ideas, I am appalled.
Yet the senators drove their taxpayer-paid SUV's to Walker's By the Sea for a catered-heavy luncheon -paid for by taxpayers - to have further discussions, when they should be meeting in the Legislature where taxpayers are already paying for WAPA lighting and air conditioning and for the senators' huge staffs.
Couldn't at least one of those senators have figured out that fiscal recovery should start with each and every one of the senators?

Buy your own lunch.
Turn off the A/C and lights in your offices when not in use.
Cut back!
We should boot them all out. They are derelict in their duties.
