“The decline in services ...”
yes - the union pensions are one of the real causes behind the bankrupting of our state, along with the entitlements. The democratic Tamany Hall machine lives!! Cuomo is one of the boys - Let no one be fooled by his rhetoric!
The whole country is headed this way, and this may be our last chance to vote in politicians who will stop the game. I am skeptical of the average intelligence of the American voter though,(average American IQ is only hovering above 100 - easily swayed by TV) and am pessismistic about the big picture.

A friend suggested having all of the gubmint workers’ benefits be paid by bond issues from the civil entity hiring them; if Detroit can’t meet its debt obligations, there is no reason for everyone else to have to fork over the money for benefits completely out of sync with services rendered, or available to any of us poor slobs that get the bill.
