Senate Bill 410 is the Mafia-cation of the bureaucrats who run government services.

The editorial board asks, "“Why it passed the Legislature is anybody's guess"
My guess is that it passed the legislature because public unions ensure reelection of their political representatives. 
 
"Legislature and the Ige administration continue to steadily pay down the multi-billion-dollar unfunded liability..."
I don't think the term "pay down" is correct, because the unfunded government liabilities is an exponentially growing problem, especially with health care inflation for an increasing amount of government worker retirees.

Why is it that private unions are declining, and public unions are becoming more empowered?
