No relief from unions' arrogance

For those of you who held out even a glimmer of hope that Gov. Corzine's State of the State address might have a positive effect on the way the state employee unions would approach negotiations, or improve their understanding of the central role public employee benefits and salaries play in the long-term fiscal health of the state, here's a reality-check reaction to the speech from Carla Katz, Corzine's former gal pal and president of the Communications Workers of American Local 1034.
"We believe he showed he's committed to the collective bargaining process. We don't believe there is any real connection between changes that will be made at the bargaining table and property tax relief,'' Katz said.
How's that for arrogance? This is what we are dealing with folks.
