Message:: [QUOTE="TheMont, post: 2484474, member: 80121"]First of all, of course your going to defend your state, you work for it. I could have mentioned I was born, raised, and educated in New Jersey, so I don't just know about New Mexico, I was just stating the problems we had here. New Jersey? Something about Christie closing a tunnel? Something about the voters having to bring the issue of the state upholding their contributions to public employee pension funds and going as far as a constitutional change? Outside my borders? How about the time I spent in Vietnam serving my country? How about the 27 years I spent teaching in an inner city school that most teachers wouldn't dream of entering, let alone teaching in? How about donating my time as a special sheriffs officer, in New Jersey, so that the regular sheriffs officers wouldn't have to ride alone. I compliment the prosecutors in Pennsylvania going after corrupt public officials/employees. If they did not carry out the duties of their office or committed a crime, they should be prosecuted. Sometimes state employees and elected officials forget they are there to serve the people, not themselves. You talk about Pennsylvania, but at last count there where fifty states in the union. From your attitude I guess you're an expert on all fifty. I don't pretend to know everything, but being the USA I do have the right to express my opinion.[/QUOTE]
