    Time to retire?? You have basically been working for FREE for 10 years. I don’t get it.

    I have to agree with you Mav, what would the unemployment rate be if guys like him would leave when they have nothing to worry about financially at a normal retirement age and the circle of employment life can run it’s cycle.

    Ok, so everyone complains when cops and firemen retire after 20 years and now we are going to complain when this man stays in 48 years. Yes, he was working for free for the past 10, most likely actually losing money. His postion has been an elected postion for the past 41 years so I guess the taxpayers in his county saw fit to keep him there and did not see him as having an impact on umemployment.

    A contract negotiated by municipalities with their employees is a contract, if people have a problem with negotiated contracts they should complain to their elected representatives not complain about the employees, I agree with you on that one.
    As far as this public servant, the discussion started with his statement that it is time to retire, I say Ya Think.
    As far as him being elected again and again I see this as a problem that people need to address when going to the polling booth.
    Enough should be enough, I live in Saratoga county and have a senator either 80 or close, I don;t care what kind of job he is doing it is time to get out of the way and I will not vote for him.
