Ending Civil Service Abuses and a guy named "Joe."

Some civil servants act like little gods. This will end.

Some civil service managers throw overtime to their friends so they can pump up their pensions to amounts that are close to the incomes of the top three percent in this country. That is outrageous and is theft. These managers are going to be fired, face truth and reconciliation and work on the Staten Island subway tunnel project if they want to work for the government.

Oh and let me tell you about a guy I once knew whose name we shall call "Joe."

"Joe" got a job with the Fire Department (a white guy of course). After a few days on the job he suffered a small accident and claimed disability for life. A fat check too, and went on to start two businesses of his own. That's ridiculous. I won't tolerate shit like this. A guy like "Joe" can run two businesses but he can't work to earn his check?! He should have been assigned desk duty, I don't care in what department, and he could have continued to be paid as a fire fighter.

Civil servants who do their jobs deserve respect and the best pay and benefits that the City can reasonably provide, and their compensation will be benchmarks for what private sector employees should demand, but theft and chicanery are going to go the way of the Dodo bird once I'm in. Believe me on this one.
