Education is an expendature that should be increased. If education was

increased children would get better jobs and better jobs pay more money which

produces more taxes, taxes pay for better schools. More community centers with

sports facilities should be created to get kids off the streets. Kids would have a

place to go to have fun plus it would make alot of money all schools should be

updated with new computers to prepare students for entering the business

community. The state should propose to start a partnership with computer

companies and the board of education of education in purchasing the computers.

The private companies would benefit from this because the more computers used

the more computer orientated customers are created.

A way to pay for expenditures is by cutting out the “pork barrel” pet

projects by the legislatures. If the budget just passed there were 350 million “pork

barrel” projects requested by the legislatures. If the government cut that in half it

would pay for the increases I suggested.

Conservative groups that believe the goverment play too much of a role in

their lives of the voters would not be in favor of my proposals.

In recent years there have been increasing numbers of strikes by public

employees like teachers, transit, sanitation, and municipal workers. In many

instances these acts were in violation of existing laws which prohibited such

strikes.

One reason why many states and federal government prohibited strikes is

because of public safety. If the fire department was to strike lives would be at

stake. Neighborhoods would would be burned down. Police shouldn’t strike

because crime would rise , traffic enforcement people wouldn’t pay attention to

light and possible riots. If sanitation had a strike it would cause a health hazard.

The second reason is for business purposes and commerce. If the transit

were to strike people wouldn’t be able to go to and back to work. The banks

handle the money of civilians. If teachers were to strike kids wouldn’t get the

education they need to get a good job and they might cause trouble on the

streets.

On the other hand private bus services should be able to strike. Althogh

some people may be hurt by this it does not affect the cities commerce. I do not

believe that government employees should have the right to strike. They should

sign a statement before they are hired because if they strike it puts the publics

safety at risk.

Arbitration should be the process that should be put in affect to settle

disputes between the employees and the city. Te city chooses someone then the

employees choose someone then they choose a third person. This panel

determines the settlement of the contract of the employees strike.

Striking has become a major problem in recent years because striking is

the last weapon the employees have to defend their rights . For instance if

workers are working in an unsafe environment they have the right to strike. In

New

York there is a law which prohibits striking this is known as the Taylor Law.

Punishment for striking could be dismissal or dock in pay. However i 1966 and

1978 the transit workes had a strike baecause they felt it was a time for change

and more money.
