Realizing that the tax payers are having financial difficulties in this depressed economy and that some communities could be facing bankruptcy, as a result,it is understandable that our state and city representatives are concerned. but should the municipal and state employees be the only individuals required to receive cuts in saleries and pensions? Have we forgotten that the police and firefighters risk their lives daily to protect us and our families,in a state that has one of the highest crime rates in the country.Should we be cutting the pensions of those police officers and firefighters who survived to receive their pensions-pensions that were contractually agreed to by their municipalites.Have we lost our sense of moral obligations?

Should our judges continue to receive pensions of -in one case- over $200,000 plus benefits to be passed on to his or her spouse upon his or her demise? Should our State Senators and Representatives receive raises or pensions without prior approval of the citizenry?

Do any of us really know how much salery or pensions our elected officials receive? Query, query, query, Mr and Mrs RI.
