Wow, I'm amazed that you can still do simple math. Somebody help you?

No. I actually care about poor people.

Huh? Desirable? What rock have you been hiding under? Looked at
the economy and job market lately? People would kill for your

[$30K], and better benefits, in California, and a 5% automatic

Economy is even worse than I thought! The neighbors daughter
completed jr college and is working for the county while completing
here degree at the four year, nights and weekends! She grabbed the
county job to make ends meet and have a decent apt.

I thought $30k for a two year college ed was pretty standard.

Again, what rock are you living under? There are many, many FOUR year
laid off engineering graduates that are working fast food and would kill
for a $30K job with a municipality.

You do know the city cops here start at $50k with 6 months training
and a couple of jr college classes, right?

Well, actually, I don't know -- because I don't know where "here" is.
Furthermore, in many big city metropolitan areas, they are LAYING OFF
police and fire, to say nothing of closing libraries, reducing city
services and reducing city staffs, either by layoffs or attrition.
Please try and take a wider view, rather than your local "here".

*From every one of your over-abundance of posts here, it is clear that

Just the cost of a garage to keep your car in, in NYC is more than a
nice 3 bd room apt in California!

No one owns a car in NYC (you always wonder where all the cars come from
which clog traffic?) it is much quicker to walk in most situations ...
where you must use a car, it is a taxi!

Taxis are for tourists . Yellow cabs are too damn expensive . If you
buy property which has a garage /parking it costs little or nothing at
all . The quickest way around is by subway .

The implementation of Fiscal Martial Law in Michigan and the raising
specter of such legislation’s enactment in Wisconsin make it clearer
than ever the true nature of the enemy. The Republican assault on our
democratic values, local governance and workers’ right to have a voice
in the work place can best be described as a fascist coup-d’état. In the
words of Mussolini, “fascism should more properly be called corporatism
because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” The Republicans’
bare-knuckle dedication to cutting taxes on corporations at the expense
of the deficit and the middle class exemplifies their loyalty to
corporate interests over those of every-day Americans. Perhaps more so
than any measure rolled out in recent months, Michigan Gov. Rick
Snyder’s implementation of Fiscal Martial Law legislation leaves no room
for ambiguity in the Republican gameplan.

Rickmers, you really need to get to a doctor and have your medication checked,
and also tested for Alzheimer's and/or dementia.

Thanks Lare. I just had a checkup at the shrink's office last Monday.
Nothing curable I'm afraid.

Yes, the fine Republican Governor Snyder of Michigan that Lare helped
vote into office turned out to be a closet DICTATOR, throwing out of
office the duly and freely elected city officials of Benton Harbor,
going against the *core values* of this country.

The only "justice" that may come out of this is when Snyder starts
taxing Lare's pension (assuming Lare gets one) and Ryan guts Medicaid,
Medicare and Social Security that Lare may be on.

Well, here's hoping Snyder doesn't tax both your pensions like he is
trying his damnedest to do.

My standard advice to all: Go to work and save and invest your money. If
necessary get two jobs. Bottom line, save as best as you can, and do your best
to avoid living paycheck to paycheck.

Bravo! EXCELLENT advice (not sure about the two jobs, though...a sad
commentary on life today). However, please don't lose sight of the main
topic of this thread; i.e. Snyder the dictator.

If so, then there have been other take-overs by other Michigan Governors (Democrat and
Republican), especially with the Detroit school system.

Yes, we just differ on how they should "jump in". I favor the criminal

dictators get in power, by people looking for quick answers.
Unfortunately, IMHO your 'solution', in this country, goes against the

If you recall, the ENTIRE topic was about *Snyder's* dictatorial actions
in Benton Harbor. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Obama.

Thanks for the reference -- an interesting article.

Please note that the article clearly points out TWO *SEPARATE* ISSUES,
the park and the dictator. I thought that I was very clear that *my*
main concern was the "dictator" issue, and on this it seems that the
author of the article, Julie Mack, and I are in complete agreement. She
says:

"What happened last week: Harris notified the Benton Harbor City
Commission and other city boards that he's using the revamped law to
assume *dictatorial powers* over city operations."

"That certainly is causing a stir. But it's a separate issue from the
controversy involving Jean Klock Park."

"Are there reasons to be upset about what's happening in Benton Harbor?
Absolutely."

Final note: Please realize that although Harris was appointed by the
Democrat Granholm, he got his dictatorial powers from Snyder, the
Republican. THAT is the issue. This is America and, spin it any way you
want, WE AMERICANS DON'T WANT NO STINKIN' DICTATOR!
