It's a tough job, but he seems a serious enough guy. Seniors pensions? That might leave a mark - in Florida, I worry.
As you say he's better than first thought of.
Most non union pensions in the state aren’t big enough to be taxed so most folks will get a pass on that one. Just the other day we passed a law to stop forcing taxpayers to pay for union negotiations. The emergency manager law means that union contracts can be tossed out. Last month, some 20,000 child care workers were released from forced unionization.
