Dollars Everywhere, But Not One To Spare
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 by AdminUnion officials have thrown money around like it’s going out of style — and indeed it may be, as three stories circulating the news point out:
- The Wall Street Journal notes that the AFL-CIO and the Service Employees International Union are both facing much bigger liabilities than in recent years, thanks to their lavish political spending
- A critical new examination finds almost half of the nation’s largest unions have pensions funds that are at “endangered” funding levels, according to a report from the Washington Examiner (which, of course, includes a quote from ABC’s in-house expert, Brett McMahon)
- Newt Gingrich’s article “Once, we would have called it a scandal” … well, frankly, it has so much info that we aren’t going to do it an injustice by recapping — just click thee there immediately.
