Garry votes with unions

Late last night, the House of Representatives voted 111-42 to give cities and towns the power to make changes to health care plans without having to get union approval...the exact same power private businesses have over private employees. As a compromise, unions will have 30 days to work with cities and towns on any changes.

State Rep. Colleen Garry, who is usually a fiscal conservative, voted against this measure saying unions should not have their collective bargaining rights taken away. I am surprised and very disappointed by her vote, especially since just the other day she voted to reduce the income tax to 5%.

Oh well, it's a good bill. Public employees have been making out like kings and queens for decades, it's time they shared some of the burden we've all bore for them.
