Education is an expendature that should be increased. If education was
increased children would get better jobs and better jobs pay more money which
produces more taxes, taxes pay for better schools. More community centers with
sports facilities should be created to get kids off the streets. Kids would have a
place to go to have fun plus it would make alot of money all schools should be
updated with new computers to prepare students for entering the business
community. The state should propose to start a partnership with computer
companies and the board of education of education in purchasing the computers.
The private companies would benefit from this because the more computers used
the more computer orientated customers are created.
A way to pay for expenditures is by cutting out the “pork barrel” pet
projects by the legislatures. If the budget just passed there were 350 million “pork
barrel” projects requested by the legislatures. If the government cut that in half it
would pay for the increases I suggested.
Conservative groups that believe the goverment play too much of a role in
their lives of the voters would not be in favor of my proposals.

In recent years there have been increasing numbers of strikes by public
employees like teachers, transit, sanitation, and municipal workers. In many
instances these acts were in violation of existing laws which prohibited such
strikes.
One reason why many states and federal government prohibited strikes is
because of public safety. If the fire department was to strike lives would be at
stake. Neighborhoods would would be burned down. Police shouldn’t strike
because crime would rise , traffic enforcement people wouldn’t pay attention to
light and possible riots. If sanitation had a strike it would cause a health hazard.
The second reason is for business purposes and commerce. If the transit
were to strike people wouldn’t be able to go to and back to work. The banks
handle the money of civilians. If teachers were to strike kids wouldn’t get the
education they need to get a good job and they might cause trouble on the
streets.
On the other hand private bus services should be able to strike. Althogh
some people may be hurt by this it does not affect the cities commerce. I do not
believe that government employees should have the right to strike. They should
sign a statement before they are hired because if they strike it puts the publics
safety at risk.
Arbitration should be the process that should be put in affect to settle
disputes between the employees and the city. Te city chooses someone then the
employees choose someone then they choose a third person. This panel
determines the settlement of the contract of the employees strike.
Striking has become a major problem in recent years because striking is
the last weapon the employees have to defend their rights . For instance if
workers are working in an unsafe environment they have the right to strike. In
New
York there is a law which prohibits striking this is known as the Taylor Law.
Punishment for striking could be dismissal or dock in pay. However i 1966 and
1978 the transit workes had a strike baecause they felt it was a time for change
and more money.
