Re: [MD] US democracy at work?

Hi all,
2 issues are getting confused here (though they have basically the same 
solution) :1) Wisconsin legislators have fled the state rather than serve.  
They can be compelled to serve only by Wisconsin state police, which have no 
jurisdiction in another state.
The solution here is to remove from office any
legislator who refuses to serve.
2) Fiscal irresponsibility has led to a pension crisis for public servants.  As 
Horse has said,past contracts must be upheld.  The question iswhat to do about 
future contracts.  The solution is not to deny collective bargaining to public 
servants.  Collective bargaining works to assure that those doing the same work 
receive the same pay.  The solution is to make future contracts affordable.  
This might require replacing public servants who strike.
