Here in NJ we’ve been fortunate, laying off many cops, firemen, and teachers; Obama’s attempts to steer funds to their unions were thwarted by our governor’s tax cap. Early lame attempts by Obama to keep these workers on the public teet failed because there was no ongoing funding; as the fed funds dried up, state & local funds couldn’t produce the needed revnues to keep the gravy train going (with no additional revenue sources - you can’t squeeze blood from a stone).
Those laid-off workers are screwed; there won’t be demand for their skill sets here in NJ for decades. The senior workers in those jobs often top $100K annually, and have little incentive to retire.
You can bet that the Human Rights councils, the LGBT affairs offices, and the Sustainability departments will be absolutely untouched. So, the police, firemen, emergency response personnel, and even the sanitation and road engineers will bear the brunt of the layoffs, until they hurt; then, citizens will BEG for a tax increase. This is the modus operandi of blue states and cities.
