So they got a raise! Ok the NYPD got a raise but nothing great that you can stop doing OT. I mean the cost of living is up- taxes, food, mortgage....and so on. After being behind in pay for so many years a little jump in pay will not dig you out of the whole. Now with the country in $ trouble who knows when the next raise will come. Any thought?
To the men and women of the NYPD - Stay Safe & Thanks for all you do!

The WAITING Continues.....tic toc!
So we heard PERB had a meeting yesterday and STILL NOTHING! Now my husband will need to wait and see what they get.....hmmm you think the bank that holds my mortgage will WAIT, I think NOT! Maybe the city wants "give backs"? Meanwhile it will be business as usual in my home. My husband will go to work, work as much OT as they allow him and work as much paid detail as he can....outcome you ask ? Living paycheck to paycheck!
Can I be the first to say "thank you" to TPTB for:
1) My husband risking his life everyday to protect and serve this "great city"
2) Spending NO time with his family (ex. missing his sons little league games)
3) Being exhausted after working crazy amount of hours for little pay
How do you like these 3 "Give Backs"?
All I have let to say is WTF!!
*On a side note I appreciate everyone that comments. It is nice to see I am not alone in this fight for a pay increase for "New York's Finest" aka "New York's POOREST"

Still NOTHING!!!
This is just CRAZY...still Nothing with the contract! Yet gas prices...UP, milk....UP, bread...up! EVERYTHING UP except POLICE PAY! How about this, to The Powers That Be aka "TPTB" lets NOT give tax cuts to the city and lets put that $ to pay the people who PROTECT the city...gee is it that hard to do! Speaking of taxes our taxes go UP but I guess that is what we get for NOT living in the 5 boroughs..but at least we pay OUR COPS!
YEAR 2008 with 2004 PAY!
Maybe lets change the name from:
"New York's Finest" to "New York's POOREST"(lets bring back those T-Shirts)
What a DISGRACE!
"New York's Finest" to "New York's POOREST"(lets bring back those T-Shirts)
What a DISGRACE!

Cops Wives UNITE
SO this is my first time blogging and trying this out. I heard a lot about blogging but never tried so I figures...what the Heck need to Vent to someone or something, right? So here I am venting!
I am obviously a Cops Wife and needed and outlet for he frustration I have regarding his J O B and LACK of PAY...that is right you read right LACK OF PAY...I am sick of it!
I meet my husband at 23 which was NOT a Cop at the time he worked in the "business" world. Life was good...he was a 23 year old man working and making good money BUT then the company got sold and he was out of a job. He decided to take the "wonderful" Police test for the "Greatest City in the World". At 23 he really liked his job and still does. I don't mind it either UNTIL every two weeks I see his pay check. I left my job about 4 years ago once my mom could not watch our child anymore. It does not pay to go to work just to pay for day care and now I would have to pay for two kids which would be CRAZY $$. Let me fast faward a bit and tell you why I need to BLOG! I am absolutly disgusted in the way that police officers are treated and paid....is there no shame in people who run there contracts? How and who can live of $58,000 a year (roughly). A family of 4 like us can not. How can you have these Police Officers that are protecting there city working with NO CONTRACT since 2004...thats right you heard me NO CONTRACT! Do we remember 9-11 and what these Police Officers did for us? Do we remember that everyday they leave the house the leave families at home and don't know if they will return to see them? They sacrafice there lives and yet don't even get a decent pay check. Police Officer signed up to protect not starve to death!
