Former Delaware County Council Chairman Wally Nunn had this column in yesterday’s (Feb. 11) Philadelphia Inquirer in which he points out that “downsizing” is a word you never hear in Harrisburg and our elected officials ought to start using it.
Nunn notes that the state employs the equivalent of 160,000 full-time employees making more than $8 billion a year in salaries, and that there are 195,000 employed in teaching elementary and secondary school, making more than $10 billion.
This is all sans benefits and pensions, of course.
Wally Nunn for governor.
Meanwhile, over in New Jersey, it looks like Gov. Chris Christie gets it.
Wally would get my vote!
I’ll sign on to work for Wally’s campaign!
