This is hilarious. This bill has nothing to do with saving money. It's about breaking unions and the Democrats.

@BadGirlzClothing - I was in the militart 21 years and got a raise almost every year. And you didn't get one in 20? You were not in the US military then.

@MrVac14- I am a public employee and I do pay into my pension and part of my health care. I don't know any public employees that don't pay something. This was not just about the 10/15% pickups, the bill was 600+ pages long. And the question I had was that since the GOV. used to manage my pension and LOST alot of the money to stupid investments now that he's in charge he wants me to contribute more to the state to make up for his mistake? I think not.

@MrVac14 and people like you are stupid FUCKS who do not know shit about anything.A lesson here for you.It is better to keep your mouth and let people think you are stupid than to say something and prove them right.Who told you Gov, workers do not pay for their health care.Where ever you heard this they are liars or they are like you stupid.

@MrVac14 They DO pay for their healthcare for the last fucking time. God if I had a dollar for every cunt that told me a public employee doesn't pay for their healthcare I would be Bill Gates! They also pay for their pensions and they are NOT allowed to have a 401k! We have a pension, you have a 401k it works out the same!

[MrVac14]

wow people who vote no are probably government workers who dont want to pay for there health care

@mpontones68 No, more ticket writing does not move us towards a police state. More restrictive laws to the individual would move us towards a police state.

Simply put: More tickets means that there are more individuals who should not be driving because they can not follow simple laws. There are signs that have posted speed limits. There are laws against alcoholic beverages being mixed with driving. If you hit another vehicle then you were not paying attention or you were breaking a law.

Don't forget that issue 2 also gives free death benefits to those left behind by firefighters and police officers that have died in the line of duty that is equal to a high percentile of that person's monthly wage until it reaches the time where-in the deceased would be retired. That's a pretty badass deal.

Collective bargaining works two ways. SB5 works one. SB5 gives the governments more power. Increased ticket writing moves us toward a police state.
