sadly it's not happening in nh yet

the governor "failed" to get the employees union to reduce their previously agreed upon salary hike.

Yeah, Manchester added a couple dozen police in the last budget cycle. Let's see what happens after this year's revenues are added up.

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Governors of five U.S. states urged the federal government to provide $1 trillion in aid to the country's 50 states to help pay for education, welfare and infrastructure as states struggle with steep budget deficits amid a deepening recession.

Yeah bullshit. When the money crunch DOES hit them for real the first line on the budget won't be education. I wonder how many leo's will continue to do "their job" without pay. Maybe they'll be sucked into the domestic Federal military budget.

Public "worker" unions are a major problem in this country.

A trillion dollars. Do these numbers even mean anything anymore? It's just strings of zeros in a computerized ledger entry...
