Constantly bitches about Unions and high taxes.

Decreased property value saw tax revenues go down, the city had to negotiate with the police unions to reduce costs. The union gave in and cut benefits and had to ultimately cut positions.

Person X complains about cops losing their jobs and their benefits being cut.

NEWSFLASH DIPSHIT: had you supported your union (and unions in general), and realized that taxes pay for shit.

Oh and her husband is a prosecutor for the same said city. I've noticed that a lot of people who bitch about Big Government and taxes, work for the same said big government and are paid by our taxes.
