Sinnott's Take on Act 111
The Mayor we worked so hard to get elected, has further distanced himself from the uniformed services that protect his constitiuents. According to an article dated November 16, 2007 published in the Erie Daily Times he blames Act 111 as a major obstacle.
The Mayor is quoted as saying, "Municipalities are put at a great disadvantage when it comes to collective bargaining and arbitration," he goes on to say, " employee costs and benefits for police and firefighters increase at an uncontrollable rate."
Please take a moment and read the entire article titled "Strength in Many Voices" at goerie.com.
