Weatherford tweeted that he wants pension reform. Cops, teachers, and other public employees beware!

These people honestly think that public employees are overpaid and underworked.

Be sure that all public employees who are dumb enough to vote Republican are stabbing themselves in their own backs by voting against their own interests. If we can get public employees to stop voting republican then we can win more elections. It pisses the hell out of me that some cops and teachers actually vote republican.

Check out this list of political stories.

Let's change Tallahassee in 2014 so we can stop worrying about our financial security.

Nine out of ten of my fellow public employees are rapid right wingers. Probably ten out of ten of the cops.

in November he will come for 2% more of their paychecks to dip into the FRS. He wanted 5% before and he will have nothing to lose by going after it since he cannot be reelected.
