Municipal Spending

There is only so much money to go around, and a dollar more in benefits for teachers is a dollar less for police. Each public employee union jusifies itelf to its members by outdoing not only the municipality against which it bargains for benefits, but also the other unions against whitch it competes for benefits. Cutailing the process means curtailing union power.
