on Alabama Trimming The Fat at 16:41 08/22/2008

Ok people. These are STATE workers, which means the state employs them and they should be able to tell them what to do. Now think about something else, if you work for the state you are getting free insurance, while nearly everyone who works for a private company has to pay insurance premiums every month. Fat people cost more to insure because they are more unhealthy and have more health problems, they cost more so they are costing the government more so therefore the government shouldnt have to pay for it. If the workers dont like it they can give up their cushy state jobs and go try to find another employer with free health care, HA good luck.
