Mayor Dolan

" When we pull out of Afghanistan. Humans format but. Enormous risks involved -- that there are those who say let's double down put more troops and -- But also enormous risks and broadcasting from a new balanced world headquarters -- in the trailer you storm. Good morning to you it is Tuesday morning."

" The -- maybe some rain coming in with senator broadcast scattered showers and like little -- it was a beautiful that I talked -- we can't live in the past we have to look to the future Astros today cool tomorrow or clotting -- as well and then Thursday and Friday. Zooming -- the -- up to the low to mid -- that's the bad news the good news is the end of June we do expect a little warm weather coming hot hot so we're only AI multinational melting and I totally ice feed off the -- revised price -- one -- big problems a state houses so cities and -- trying to make ends meet. And this job is made harder a lot of the times by the this some of the rules made by the state legislature. So we wanted to dive into that a little bit that this hour also dive into. Otherwise is that cities and towns -- creative and be able save money instead of looking to our money coming in from the state or other benefits -- to be able to do a better job themselves and also I I you know my goal is that. Voters understand better exactly what's going on. So they're not easily manipulated by slogans that are necessary rhetoric isn't necessarily accurate in terms of how things are working so Merapi Dolan is with us from Melrose."

" You do curiously before we go to the -- what would you do if your goal was reached in a different way. That as a voters become a little bit more informed of the complexity in the challenge. They might be less hostile to incumbents at a time like this because you general you say every incumbent to bomb. Throw them out. I say that I've heard that drill implement it was confirmation hot hot hot hot hot -- just thought -- absolute of them I had him so we're going of the guy on the front lines -- Dolan doesn't do we need you and I talked about it this guy does the job he does a good job still welcome to WRKO that you're supposed to go to macarthur's gonna Morris who has dual."

" Yeah we're doing okay we have you know. -- 96% residential or small community of most the people work in the city of -- as I once again experienced a great commute. This morning I would do it okay we've we've got through last year by a number of measures. Creative and someone taking pictures of the government is municipal partnership -- in the but will legislature to allow us to do -- the things health insurance pension reform regional positions so we are. We're doing okay right now and next year however is the the storm that we're gonna have to get through to -- a -- did to Melrose receive two point six million which is equivalent of three years of new taxation Melrose. -- only gets it about 800000 new revenue very little new growth Taylor residential and -- fully built out fully built out Gaza making an immoral and yeah. And we are very sensitive obviously to not. Overbilled and bad times you know to eliminate the green space that we have three -- gross revenue Bertuzzi is the equivalent cut how the heck did you never get that they do have some reserves built up we had some reserves but I try not to use one time revenues were ongoing operating expense. Oh quite a lot I love this guy already I don't talk to royal love our right -- yeah I can hear that radio is go -- we start talking only about half half half of the fact is I think that one of them things the state has done. Is the with the they've limited there any different they've taken all the surplus money for its host lesser of three is used it for one year. I do not wanna spend one time revenue and so -- has to be forever. Because is just not fair to the public and it's not honest with with people in the name of."

" That's what we're certainly seeing that on a state level right now we're where we're getting bailed out this year and next here -- look and all the more ominous as a result of not make any adjustments now. What has -- you guys did something very. I'm very unusual I think and that is you've got yourself. Out of the situation where you had we were locked into the health plan the Ronnie were able to go into the state plant. How did that happen is all that everybody in this state of Massachusetts on municipal level wants to be in that situation."

" Just visible -- mean I talk to people all the time that self insured consultants private sector it's one thing that joins us -- the skyrocketing cost of health insurance you see on TV every night. Well it's a two part situation when our tax increase didn't even cover health care increase in at the same time our employees who were only getting 2% raises -- 1% raises are no raises at all. There -- health insurance prima was more than their brilliance of the -- were not getting ahead so brought -- to the table. We were allowed to go to the unions to ask for seventy -- obviously 70% of the use her degree in a massive health care change up. It was billion dollars -- we have blue cross blue shield impression blue shield is not in the state plan. So we spent about a year educating our unions. I have to give credit to our users our unions already to listen when they didn't really have to it's hard to say to someone with a chronic illness. -- happy with your doctor blue cross blue shield you have the same doctor. But it's Harvard or -- and they don't necessarily believe -- That's hard changes are particularly in the public sector when we got the unions to 70% to agree to make this change is saved us well over one point six million dollars our employees. -- over a hundred a month. More and their paycheck from less our premiums."

" That was your big your big sales pitch right is it they'd have more data and ideas today if they agree."

" I mean. Obviously some of these came forward and said we're entirely but to try health insurance which entire labor is not letting people get ahead. In eliminating jobs that we know -- never coming back the jobs that we're eliminating at the local level. Unlike after two and half an 81 in in 91 I'll probably never coming back because of these. -- skill of the economy but the target -- so local level is probably gonna be five to ten years out. It's in under two and a half in the limited in my new growth it's just not feasible to expect to those. Jobs ever come back and they have to know that it in Norris used -- understand that."

" Right so what's the biggest problem you have running this city of Melrose right now."

" Well I think the biggest problem is the pension the pension program. We've lost we actually went into the -- once again regionals they shouldn't with a massive for a state program but they've lost twenty to 30% of their. Of their total value of the last year. In that although. Is an important program is certainly. Not sustainable over the long -- even a short while when those programs are reevaluating have to -- now fully fund by 2030. The states instead of two years. That is eyed crazy numbers mean that will bankrupt the state and bank of cities and towns. But backed -- insurance I was able to do it but a lot of cities the unions won't come to the table that's why mayors are asking for the scene writes -- they have to state house."

" You're -- for structural change different law from the legislature that says cities and towns that the mirrors the board of selectmen want have you have the power to do what. To change their health insurance brokerage. To do the same things that the legislature is able to do this year up which -- change the contribution to the state it was really now it's 75. That's not a reasonable change in this day and age when I know people. Who -- paying 1800 a month for the health insurance. And children social procession second mortgage payment for small business person of us for a consultant -- for probably thousands of people listening to right now."

" Tom -- any reason why you through the you can see on on a state level why this season -- have the power. To do their own health plans like any CEO of any organization would do once -- you take bids. He'll look at the best one price wise and and services wise and you make the shift yeah I follow the guy image from a distance obvious there was no longer erupt there and I think."

" the change which allowed you to do what you did Don GIC and tap into that. Was authored by speak at the Macy's former -- to Macy among others. In the give and take up them. The union say you wait a minute we collectively bargained for this is a legal process to an all we do not like the idea of just being subject to do we -- of one guy who might be under. Reelection pressure is such as might have a bad day or bad attitude off it doesn't like the firefighters or whatever so we would prefer that this change not a -- In the negotiation between. To Macy and other state a position we wanna give citizens on some flexibility. And the unions say well wait a minute there's a certain sanctity to collect about him as well they came up to 7% figure. Classic political compromise it probably taught my opinion just my Internet out on him a vote on this thing. Probably have very high threshold to hit congratulations may have dole and he was able to do it. But in proud and I think you've been very frank about this you're only of the -- could you could demonstrate to the rank and file of the union. You're gonna end up with a C note -- Mantegna pocket in some instances there Rudy renegotiation would not be as obviously economic gain."

" Do you know Rangel I church even in this debate. People is what hold areas -- such a complex -- just leave me -- let me go to the don't know -- that knows already they fear they're gonna be -- a lot -- they also thank you gonna take -- family doctor away and send them to some obscure -- Clinic out in Timbuktu what are we were able to do is our union heads of -- to get to the rank and falcons and you know while us good which -- very -- sometimes like that old game when you cinema circle and say -- the word by the dynamic it's accurate to different work. We were able to have at least fifteen meetings with these people are gonna be affected. We actually met with couples one by one in it was almost a campaign. To almost two degree of running for mayor offer represented a and if you get to the the average citizen and they bring in their medication to what she brought in the bag of managed -- we went to the book -- does every day yeah yeah if he's been on Mets since I arrived there how -- ha ha ha ha -- that helps that helps. You know the idea here is should. The largest. A line item in the budget outside the public schools. Be subject to the control such a few. When the many which is the children in the masses are going with less and less every year Winamp when you fellow may -- bring this sign him and up to the state doesn't say hey what you what you did a few years ago we appreciate a 7% is becoming almost impossible. What's the reaction I I think the governor has put forward to that was a good sign. Speaker delete who actually you know represented at the time of Winthrop you're struggling so enormous that they may be even -- Chairman of the ways and means Murphy. Talking them they get it but obviously they have a constituency within there ranks that there's a pause. There's a pause for whatever reason that may be my guess it has to do with unions. --"

" Why are they so scared of the -- why do the unions have the ability to hold the state. By the you know once I I don't get this are are what's gonna happen if they vote against the unions."

" I don't know I'm not the status but I do know that most mayors are pretty pragmatic and they get the fact. That you know you can have good health care you probably still the best health care program in the world even with this reform. But he didn't have services if you make a fundamental change in health insurance in cut local aid that's my argument. We understand locally has to be cut. We understand that we give you some money back is sitting there is no two give it to all the money's right there to be grabs as this is -- doesn't work for -- of people who if you want blue cross blue shield plus increased because I've co pays. To our let's be scary twenty dollars there's nothing to some people -- five -- that's an insult that's not only. Irresponsible to public we -- its its its -- at that point insulting to people."

" And this is why voters need another smear rob Dolan is here from our as we're talking about these structural problems and make it very very difficult for cities and towns to make ends meet. As a result. You always hear all these debates all the time we're gonna cut fire were gonna cut teachers -- whatever the services. It's being cut back on when there's money that is just sitting there waiting to be grabbed. If only -- had more power off on that on the health insurance plans to -- make little adjustments. Like changing the co pay what else. Is happening way is there any thing else is obvious is this are close that could be changed."

" Outside of health insurance it's the regionals nation. If we went to take all the men made boards in Massachusetts and restructured our government we wouldn't structure the way we have it to you -- 300 if you want citizens I wouldn't -- have a 146. Retirement voids your health boards up you know what people west of Springfield often feel neglected but -- in many -- terms -- regional position mainly it's because there's so few people shelf in a large area. But in dollars a Wakefield recently combined health departments. We are looking to another community to possibly do some other some other departments. That are universal what are they building every room pretty much has seemed to -- stapled to note assessing everyone is under pressure to an F health code. And owner and manager of of merging towns operations if you don't -- the probably combined the same size as some of all of Medford a Peabody and you have -- one manager. So there you build efficiencies you -- deficiencies in less health insurance costs us pension costs. How about doing now and other things police and fire for about -- police. I don't you want to you could do you regional 911 systems are obviously -- California six regional -- once this is -- only 200. It's mind boggling that we still have beautiful all that redundancy. We've you know just a police officer sitting behind -- desk answering phones I want those people on the street yeah and civilian dispatched. Are now being unionize in making as much money in some cases is a first year patrol -- and so are you saying that you'd date they shouldn't be commanding them much you know I'd have at least you'd probably have less than this probably the experts who tell you five or six to regional dispatch is covering all of Massachusetts probably last. In order I would they have maybe -- so how's it worked his Melrose have its own dispatch for not everyone has their own despair every city into yet elected governor. You know to his credit is look it we are joining with growers were reading stardom Wakefield and we're actually Mars also dipping into the -- Boston."

" Australia does a nice little about seven -- Chelsea is involves another camera cost and get on to something like that but their fight stems everybody has their thing everybody has hit traffic and everyone there why isn't designed this way is that state law that did the -- and Hillary always actually goes back to the whole book called point to these days but obviously held -- to. Notion of home role. And then resistance to anything big anything intrusive. People on militants say hey we donate African lecture from you guys and -- leave us alone so that town meeting members in Milton. Do you fiercely protected just say don't commanding give us -- we run our top that's journalists on this -- saying you have to do it this way. Yeah but no the state -- the state when it would. The -- put the except that shot different corporation from Melrose off from. Bellingham are from Timbuktu. That the -- the residents of that town kind of set the grown so it's -- local governmental."

" Also people unless she's just have to change their way of thinking also mean -- go to town meeting which is different as mayor I don't have to deal with that but you don't I wanna -- by -- Building departments of health departments someone is probably gonna lose -- job and -- that person is probably a neighbor. -- so it's those personal relations fires and other basically fire is regional allies now I've never I asked my fire chief who's who's very progressive. -- Fire with the communing -- neighboring city which we can have more firefighters are a fire for less money so -- you don't because obviously with collect any change in regionals nations have substantial is gonna have to be void of collective bargaining. Has so collective bargaining seems to be the big problem how do we get rid of us do not welcoming the governor could do it I mean he's actually proposed the first municipal partnership -- Last year that any -- regional position efforts would not be subject to collective bargaining. I don't know where that's going to come into play. But we could actually work with you you talk about not eliminating -- but Beebe through attrition. I'm bringing them into the process because I know my fire union. Is willing to talk about all sorts of things I know that's a rarity -- baby doesn't have that luxury but I am lucky to have people that we are willing to talk. Because they wanna be safe to. In for them not to understand that that fire station that's gonna close isn't gonna reopen for. If not hours and Wakefield and who were the stone and have 45 stations within three square miles maybe you don't need that show. -- does every sound needle at a track now. I don't know."

" Now the next time you building a new fire station you talk to you neighboring town -- build it. -- you rip you don't look right there on the border so either town can avail themselves let's say we could get some callers and on this 61726666. Questions or comments from -- all in this expands outside of Melrose and across the state how to make cities and towns more efficient or give them the power. To run themselves more officially silly to save money and not be so devastated. By budget cuts comin' down the pike Greg good morning -- NWR --"

" You know where it well there respect but I'm I'm assuming you're a Democrat but legislature's Democrats the governor of the Democrat. I mean everybody stay in the pro. Why do you guys are the ones who -- an assistant to the ground and you know what you want to defeat for everybody -- apart radio because. -- people read college that it shows the threat here -- looked barbecue payment this boot out the cards which could pull out of the Atlanta."

" Let me jump in here for the mayor he's done the regionalism. Up on -- stuff -- you say it won't. Well I mean he's -- economy a look at a simple needed to -- and cry Intel --"

" And I -- I can't -- attention could of the state senate term tension not okay when Polaroid lot of tension. Okay big Polaroid one out of business yeah okay and people didn't get their pension. The government doesn't go audobin."

" Is that what you want the government to do would have mimics the worst behavior --"

" And don't when he talked about the resistance from union which is okay in the end. It everybody else to on the hook but it swipe our retirement while. And it's been -- the future."

" That's what we have to change and that's why we have to go from 146 pension boards to one elected -- that's what we may have to consider. At some point you think it does have to be considered that we go to a fully. Funded pension system and once we would that bubble bursts which it is right now that have people -- yourself paying for a it was okay so what I'm not opposed say no -- of dollars I think -- life."

" Occurrence that is -- now that we're getting into devastating Financial Times the leverage is me as maybe being used in the motivation is maybe there. Where is when times are good nobody was talking planning ahead for the bad times. I think he's suggesting the UN others could have been campaigning for this stuff five years ago or ten years Alitalia."

" Say this again and make and he is here he can speak himself mayors have been talking about this stuff since the passage of two and I'll -- you -- well the you have some good years and you don't you don't necessarily because there's no urgency or emergency -- back to Greg's comment -- about -- what I mean that the notion that somehow or other that's supposed to be our guide. That is reputations. And repulsive behavior kids should be criminal behaviors well he wants them I'm."

" I doubt that god that's the price no sanctuary and I don't body was suggesting at all 617266. Exceeds sixty Melrose mayor Dolan is here. And you comin' up on 680 WR KOI."

" One more I learn to live by C."

" Hey tell your tale of good morning Soledad Soledad beautiful Tuesday -- Murky world of high. This is right million dollars marriage is warming up that. He's talking about unions and how this -- things are for the cities and towns and how we need to break thumped. There's a current cellular Tyler Saturday's -- Ohio I don't read -- heard I would do grow your federal oil and number house."

" dawn is here from Melrose and now very interest seem to have a -- actually managing through this. Talking about the ways that things could be cheaper if the state would get out of the way the cities and towns right. Yeah that is a point your making your hand if other marriage -- as lucky as you and getting unions to go along with things like going into the state helping plan the GIC."

" If the public thinks differently about how services are delivered we can do all the services that maybe you have to drive an extra. Three minutes to get that person to do you see."

" In obvious kind of place that would do we have our uniform applicability. That people could let go of things. Are are there services that people are too dependent upon her too. Edgy about haven't changed."

" I know that public safety is always tugs at the heart strings and you want more violence in order to save money -- Did the idea that you know we can't change the current structure that we have that is unsustainable. And no look at. I'm sharing a ladder trucks are sharing regional police particularly when it comes to gang violence are. -- drugs. You know the borders that we have and small suburban communities don't necessarily the investigation shouldn't stop what you're going to -- you know that. We've had some success. Working with the Massachusetts mayors to getting the -- which actually brings. All these communities together to talk about. Gangs drugs -- trends. -- identify the bad actors who go back and forth over those borders between -- out of my town right you know would have -- national more regional efforts in that regard I -- emergency management they've actually done a very good job as good example. Of how regional position has worked. We're out of the emergency management now does look at things on a regional basis in saves money -- c.'s resources what during the Mother's Day -- we -- a thousand people lose their homes. And that really really worked and we had the National Guard him or as we had the police chief from Leipzig was -- and Melrose and it. You don't have to be five feet from the incident to know how to. --"

" Bond to a they are let's -- some calls from -- 6172666. Seats succeed -- you're on WRQ good morning."

" Well good morning and -- 22 issues that I just chilling account and cities but first this healthcare the second is the pensions."

" Nobody as a former all right employee by the way nobody in the public sector has pensions anymore we don't need to regional line extensions we need to stop. Giving pensions and let let everybody use in your system already eighth inning and other them. But for the new people coming and set up some kind of for a one take our land and let them contribute in terms to help get -- the bridge -- case war effort in. Active employees helped give them any different active employees connect beanie."

" I couldn't agree with you worry -- the pension system pension system at this point it's dearly and and to containable. Can you could move out that number for fully funding from 2000 through 2060. It's with these losses it with people living longer. In spousal benefits in the fact that our pensions a risk free. Risk free."

" Damon with a four okay no doors are guaranteed result some of those investments -- even you're losing money on the investments are you have to pay I guarantee -- in first. By law the first check that the city must -- their pension system. In whatever -- left shoulder there but I agree on how do we get out from under the was."

" mark my position I feel that you know obviously the woman who called was right you can't harm people that are in the pension system are -- but I think we have to take a real look to pick a date and that they could be safe throwing it out to 2013. Anybody high and after January 1 acts. Iran for a you can't do -- you could do a very healthy --"

" Action cities and towns I was battle well that I was gonna ask you would you would you be in favor then of a -- yes percent to com for example Todd -- employees if they were matching for awhile. Star Tony -- simple to be punished for and then they'd they pull it back and so we get a lot of people call and -- is my company retreated. That that then gets into the public sector and they'll always be a lot of resentment and jealousy if Melrose that's the pay a little modest matched for its employees by."

" I think we're not even talking about it now I understand -- merely that the pension boards right now even and every city. Don't necessarily do the right things in terms of allowing for disabilities -- various employee you have the power is the mayor don't have the power no power we have no we don't have I was over retirement system retirement system. Is elected by the members themselves with one appointee from the mayor the chief foreign controlled by the legislature yeah yes in the -- another case of the legislature sticking it to the cities and towns in terms of making ends meet the pension system is yes in the criticism is actually got to be dealt with because if we look at a reevaluation. This year. I'm have to pay another. Well they'll make the cuts of local even health insurance look minor compared to what this pension system's going to be."

" You're here or there Dolan saying when they say they have to cut a teacher they have to cover copper they have to cut a firefighter they don't they need to go. And force the legislation to fix these things so it's cheaper to run cities and towns -- good morning you're on WRKO."

" The government that backyard and very usual very much engine and the -- congratulations from the mayor. Obviously brokering a win win for both sides there I think -- from Cape Cod. In our republic skate -- water -- they -- all in it out of possible but these individuals out there were five separate and distinct. Fire department. -- are you talk about duplication around the printout thereof five separate apartment in one out each village has its own separate fire department."

" But -- heroism parts of all sort of like gave regional government all by itself."

" Why would be like it bought the question brush we have a separate you know fired a pop art art okay that's what happened in. Now that there."

" That's good that more has more union I hope that's class that's well I closeup and inefficiency if you missed the -- were able to -- Do some of the regional position you -- with reading and other neighboring towns seems to me about the should be able to -- would -- in house right this is within the top hey guys and gals say -- can do we have to have five little while -- them so -- seems to -- because until today the underpinnings of lower identifying here is that once you. Create. A domain for somebody -- or for some group of people. That they have enough political power that whatever they have no matter how bad it is no matter how destructive it is due to efficiencies they get to keep it wrote for our."

" That that's what it works and they create their own a political fight films. And they bring up the worst case scenario if you -- to change that it's gonna take a lot of courage but with this you know. Really historic time we're living in fumed if you're not gonna do."

" Now I'm not a fan Rahm Emanuel but his phrase do not let the opportunity that accompanies a crisis passed. He's right I mean it's only at a time like this when you can do the close examination have a hot to have talked with the union -- most of them pretty good guys or would you sit down and say -- let. No longer tied to it anymore in if you got to fight me okay we're gonna have a plywood and in a -- to the death on this one in our did you get a change."

" If you educate the piano people on the hours of you to educate them really in an honest dialogue they get it. There will introduce our colony and know they really isn't because they're dealing with an arm or."

" I have an idea Mike Tyson is unemployed infused him as a union negotiator. May I could make this stuff changed a little faster. -- good morning -- Dolly are here with Melrose mayor -- a high hander."

" Yeah I got I got my name is an email account administrator on the north shore yeah and the work they've done a minute don't don't I think he's -- on the forefront on this. I have to go to -- something that was said earlier we we not a whole communities says the misnomer that. And we like to work you can get a lot more want to go a thousand Harken back to colonial times we controlled nothing that happened to our individual communities. We have a great town meeting -- it's want like great people very intelligent group. All but the message they controlled find that we issue on people who walk their dogs in the beach. But we wanna change health insurance we lot of what I get and the regional initiatives save money try to change jobs every time we try to do that speed bump up against. State statute prohibits us from doing that without legislative approval and that's we have to change. Actually get the community to give people would get dole is a progressive guy. The opportunity go to the council give folks like myself and our border select this opportunity to go to our -- 300 -- people about how meeting. And ask them whether or not they want that this former government. This level of services and how they --"

" Tore into I wanna make sure I understand -- you just made when you say you can't change anything without approval of the legislature. I assumed that you you're you're referring to -- home rule petition you wanna change a DNC locally you get the assent of the town meeting. And then you have to get that through the legislature have you ever had home rule petition held up in the legislature."

" But -- C dot -- QB come true hole location what we do a couple of examples you can override the provisions of 160 which -- all of the collected by -- management control lack. So we like did dole we're fortunate to be one of the seventeen communities that spent seventeen month to go to -- into the UIC. Two have been successful and try and we certainly part of which used to do it took seventeen on. -- think invent a 100% being is an application to join but the process Likud who makes no sense. An obligation somebody arbitration all the impediments placed in the way. To get to what makes you know common sense so there's certain things calm like 115 national a 150 which. Which prevents us from doing things true all -- is likely -- and you could very but can't specific action which to not."

" Utility group I really literally you make a bunch of good points enjoyed just wanna make sure you said she wants consolidate it was a selectmen for you -- why was he not. Yeah you -- OK I just isn't -- play miniature Carl about women as I just thought just -- I'm a huge admirer Tylenol I mean you can't."

" Eight college talked about you don't know whether he's a Democrat or Republican or Democrat certain you know up to 8000 rich. Thought about that it's about time that the registry individual communities are a lot to make decisions. Relatives and assertions."

" Right -- all you do when you say that the average voter has no idea. The degree to which the legislature holds the cities and towns hostage."

" I think it that's exactly I think what we bumped into. It affected people believed that we do you make our own decisions and the pressure situation stick placed. At the local government one that since the lack of discretion the lack of ability to make our own Croatia is in -- ourselves. Is is not how we understood by the taxpayer. It's got so with a twenty highest single family -- the commonwealth of messaging system so an expectation to service delivery. Truly state got our ability to make those decisions are on our inability really to Jerry revenue lot of our own. We're currently operating aid brand new high school library with the -- until librarians. We know what's hot topic like that particular need to do and I certainly don't mind can not but we can be given the choice since."

" We understand that we're not -- and why does a big disconnect between what the ordinary citizen -- and doubt and -- won't exactly change overnight if the if the people Massachusetts understood they've been sold out by the legislature. The pressure on the legislature would be Intel does make it sound as if somehow this some kind of treachery if there that is not -- you know it's not here it is a balance -- as with everything alive and I'll Betty Andrew will agree with what I'm about to say there's a balance. Nobody wants to have a policy. In which things that were legitimate really collectively bargained for over years. How some merrily just I have because I'm mayor comes in and says I got a political problem -- Jimmy Carter -- Phillies and got -- how are gonna."

" Be. They creative ability to provide."

" Bob so -- kind of reasonable equity but that is not you can't the legislature can Alter the benefits of very cool east. But we cannot Alter the benefit of our employees -- bill lack of equity keeps its -- the child."

" You know it's the child parent relationship yeah well guess what I -- it would have been -- and everybody -- the radio has -- on this child. Extremely extremely articulate passionate guy trying to cheated kids teach. --"

" you you we talked about early you're not a favor of the -- democratic establishment headed -- democratic strategy leadership hated my guys and sort of credit exam tomorrow there's stuff because I supported Republican I thought was a better candidate at the time. The fact is there needs to be a change of mentality within the democratic controlled legislature we won't get it until we leverage and we can't leverage to myself -- people understand how they're getting split their needs to be a revolution among staff thought.
