The Wall Street Journal reports that public sector unions are gearing up for a fight as public sector wages and benefits are put on the chopping block.

It is interesting how these public sector unions made up of "public servants" are the ones that most loudly yell when taxpayers demand relief from burdensome taxation that goes to support these so-called servants.

Here in Miami-Dade County, the recall of Mayor Alvarez, scheduled to go for a vote on March 15, is driven by this arrogance of the public sector, where taxes were raised to increase the compensation of County workers. Several outlets have already reported that over 1,000 County workers make in excess of $100,000 in salary and benefits.

And as you can see from the above chart, public sector wages and benefits have outpaced private sector growth in the past decade. Why then do "public servants" continue to grope?

Miami-Dade County continues to suffer from very serious and deep financial woes. While the citizenry hurts, County bureaucrats fatten their wallets.

On March 15, this needs to end.
