Mary Kay Henry on Social Security: Dangerously Out of Touch
Service Employees International Union president, Mary Kay Henry, wrote in a blog posting that Social Security was not in crisis, and that it was the only retirement source that the country can count on.

However due to the extremely close vote margin, ballots were challenged and charges of conduct affecting the results of the election were filed.

As a result, an administrative law judge threw out the results of the election and ordered a new election to take place. Less than three weeks before the election, the SEIU Local sent dues “refund” checks to members. Again an administrative law judge ruled that the union engaged in activity that would have led to unfair elections. A third election was recommended by the judge and the National Labor Relations Board adopted the judge’s findings. Workers who want a fair election have to hope that the third time’s the charm.

At the same time, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and the White House’s Office of Drug Control Policy both deplore legalization and cite many health problems associated with smoking marijuana.
