There were some who just couldn't believe that the rights of citizens has been under attack for the last 50 years with a fever by the top 1% and Republicans to save their lives. I have said to all who would listen that Detroit was the test on how to successfully take the rest of the 98% and add them to the poor house. So those of you who are in Atlantic City, I will be thinking of you. But here are a few things you should be prepared for:
1. Pensions of city employees will be adjusted.
2. City services will be reduced or farmed out in the guise of Privatization.
3. Police and Fire and Emergency services will have their union leaders go in and Negotiate from the bottom.
4. Private services that take your city jobs will offer you the same jobs at a much reduced rate of pay.
5. If your school board is controlled by your mayor's office or is in financially bad shape, it will be on the chopping block also.
6. There is the potential that your city is declaring Bankruptcy.
7. Kevin Orr has refined his process. He is in Legion with those famous Brothers.
8. Chris Christie wants to be king in the Republican Party.
9. All City Labor contracts will be null and void.
10. Find out who controls your water system.
You need to ask that Federal Monitors be brought in to monitor the process. Because even your precious museums and cultural entities will be at stake. Oh here's a link. http://wncy.com/news/articles/2015/jan/22/nj-governor-christie-convening-team-including-orr-for-atlantic-city/ .

(1,451 posts)interesting. Chris Chistie is about himself. The people of Atlantic city are about to feel the pain. And it won't be just Atlantic city. They will go through the State city by city and start whacking their city based work force.

(1,451 posts)They are coming for the rest of the Country. You have those so indoctrinated that they won't believe facts until they become one of the statistics. When the Middle class was going strong 1 in 3 households were Union household. Now its 1 in 10. This is a fact. but you can't help those who won't believe fact.
