Our Prancing Governor

One of the headlines in The Times today was "State Employees Grumble" regarding the Governor rescinding the Friday after Thanksgiving as a paid holiday. While I sometimes am less than enthused by the Governor's efforts at fiscal conservatism including this one, I am even less impressed with a representative of one of the unions he is forced to deal with. From the article:


Union leader Rae Roeder took umbrage at the governor's public tour of the facility.


"He didn't have to prance in there and say: 'This is important, see why I have to do this.' Can't he just say thanks for doing a great job?" said Roeder, president of Communications Workers of America Local 1033.

I don't think the Governor pranced. Nor do I think he is unappreciative of his employees. Maybe Mr Roeder aught to grow up and realize that the Governor is not a personal piggy bank for him and his members. Here's hoping that Mr. Corzine can find a few more Roeders to take umbrage.
