Participant[quote=gandalf][quote=UCGal]I think targeting your anger towards public union employees is missing the point. The public employee worker bees are not the problem. Until 10-15 years ago private employers offered similar benefits to private sector, non-union, employees.[/quote]
Nice post, UCGal.[/quote]
Yes, UCGal nailed it.

Participant[quote=gandalf][quote=Allan from Fallbrook][quote=gandalf]I don’t like peaches either. ‘Georgia peaches’…
Hairy little fruits. They look like testacles.[/quote]
Gandalf: Fair is fair. If you’re going to use the word “testicles”, you have to at least spell it right.[/quote]
No, no Allan. I appreciate the correction, but I didn’t mean ‘testicles’…
I meant ‘Testacles’ — you know, the ancient Greek God of Peaches? Albeit one of the lesser known dieties…
Testacles was a wild and reckless Olympian and seduced and impregnated the young and beautiful but clueless river nymph ‘Swampifina’. This was before the days of Planned Parenthood, so Zeus and Hera forced them to get married and move to the rural backwoods of Georgia, where they tended a magic peach orchard and had 13 children. Thus, Testacles is known to this day as the God of Peaches…[/quote]
Gandalf: Dude! I just about had a friggin’ aneurysm when I read that! Fucking genius, seriously. You’ve simultaneously honored the Greek Myths and turned them into “The Beverly Hillbillies”. Nicely done.
If you think Georgia is bad, spend some time in Alabama. Or Mississippi. Or backwoods Florida. You’ll realize that the movie “Deliverance” was actually a non-fiction documentary.

Participant[quote=paramount]For some reason I doubt the city manager of Sandy Springs makes anywhere near the approx. 400k the city manager of Temecula makes.
[/quote]I don’t know how much the city manager of Sandy Springs makes (shouldn’t be hard to find out), but the CEO of CH2M HILL (the company they outsourced their services to) made $995K in salary, $740K in bonus, $1,611K in stock options, and $528K in non-equity incentive plan compensation in 2009:
