Windsor Locks Police Union Purchases New Safety Vests for School Crossing Guards

The Windsor Locks Police Union announced this week that it completed the purchase of new Safety Vests for all of the School Crossing Guards in Windsor Locks. 

"We noticed when we were making our patrols, that the School Crossing Guard's vests were worn and outdated", said Union President Officer Sebastian Garofalo.  "The new vests are DOT certified, and will provide better visibility for our Crossing Guards making them safer". 

"We knew that the Board of Ed budget was extremely tight this year, and our membership wanted to pitch in and help", said Garofalo.

Politicians are not CEOs. Elected officials are not CEOs. The comparison is not appropriate, butRead More it does fit with Mr. Morici's misplaced CEO worship. The criticisms may be valid, but they must be examined as political or legal criticisms. The government as a business comparison only increases the power of the corporate state. I also note that Mr. Morici's credo which he attributes to President Obama, "We’ll do as we please, stop us if you can" is a very accurate portrayal of predatory capitalism.

Maria, your dismissive and divisive 'analysis' ignores the fact that POTUS is anRead More "executive" position, also "Commander-in-Chief" of the military! O had exactly ZERO "executive" experience, which--along with his anti-business and anti-America views--explains his failures. Mr. Morici's assessment of O's job performance is perfectly pragmatic and relevant, while your doting worship of the "Agitator-in-Chief" is rather pathetic, as well as being irrelevant.

The author of the article quoted endlessly above is Peter Morici, a Professor of InternationalRead More Business at the University of Maryland. I suppose he is to be forgiven if he sees everything through a business lens, after all it has given him a very comfortable livelihood for decades. But it is still a faulty lens on this topic and he should know better.
