New York City Comptroller John C. Liu stated the following in response to several inquiries about his reaction to Mayor Bloomberg’s pension proposal:
“Everyone agrees on the need to explore pension reform and crack down on pension fraud and abuse. We also agree that New York City should be empowered to negotiate pension benefits. I am, however, extremely concerned with a proposal that breaks a promise, particularly one made to our Finest and Bravest who risk their lives every day to keep New Yorkers safe.”

I have maintained for several months that if seniority is somehow broken, that the FDNY and NYPD are next on the hit list. Yet they have not stood with the UFT on this issue, at least not publicly or in any way discernible in the media. It's time for the FDNY and NYPD and all other municipal unions to stand up and defend teachers - if, as we get older, we become "ineffective, incompetent, and too expensive," there won't be any senior firefighters, cops, or teachers around. Step up and stand with the UFT!
