Close call - Senate votes down amendment

[nnuut]

You are right! Even the HI delegates (both Dems) split 1 and 1. They RARELY vote against each other. And it was overwhelmingly approved at 82-16! Everyone it seems was on board to hike the FERS contribution to 3.1% for new hires. And maybe that is the right thing to do, but let's not take the money and give it to transportation and the like. How about use that to fund our pay raise instead of another freeze, etc.

It just seems like the Federal Worker is the scapegoat du jour.

Happens every time, ask Jimmy Carter.

We are easy targets, that's why..no barginning power or political pull like NATCA has..However, during the Reagan admin..PATCO saw how the bread was buttered and fired the bunch..course all durning his 8 years, Reagan was forever cutting our throats to fund his Military machine...He even tried to push through the high 5 idea back then.

Never could figure out why Lucas didn't sue Regan for trademark infringement.
