Steven Greenhut, author of the new book Plunder! (subtitle: “how public employees are raiding treasuries controlling our lives and bankrupting the nation”) will be speaking at the February 26th meeting of CoCoTax. While the title is controversial, and the financial implications for all levels of government are daunting, it is the people we have elected – not the unions – who are ultimately responsible for the mess we find ourselves in.
