Even though my husband and I will be recipients of a state pension, I will never understand the position of our unions, nor the gullibility of most union employees. We are broke, and the longer it takes to accept that and reform the pension funds, the more likely it will be that we will be living on scraps.

"...58-year-old retired fire marshal,...and he was too proud to accept help from his neighbors."
That's more than a little contradictory. Proud? Give us a break. The "impact fee" for the fire dept. in my area is close to $800 before any building permit is issued, and fire dept. administrators were investigated (and released by the state) for embezzling money and spending it on gambling, prostitution, etc.
Meanwhile, the National Fire Protection Association continues to use government-union tactics in government to regulate electrical work.

58-year-old retired Well, that's the heart of the problem. Wonder how young he was when he retired.
