Bus Driver, Your situation surprises me not in the least. And it will only get worse as we allow government to grow. There are those who think that the only greed comes from Corporate Big Wigs, but there is greed everywhere, especially when given free reign to implement it. We had a situation recently in Detroit where the AFL CIO planned on having a convention in Cobo Hall which is owned by the City of Detroit. In order for the AFL-CIO to contract for use of Cobo, they were obligeed to pay pre-established union scale for security, electricians, physical maintainance, custodians, plumbers, and parking attendants. This was as per agreement between unions and the City which was non negotiable. The end result was that AFL-CIO decided that they couldn't afford to pay such high union scale for those services and opted to hold the convention in Cleveland instead. The convention in Detroit was thus derailed by greedy unions and greedy government. Both ended up losers. Your situation is a microcosm of the reality of government regulations. They drive business and events away more than they attract. how soon will it be before government decides it can get its grubby hands on a Family picnic at the park.
