Re: WHOA More layoffs and tax increase. Watching news
My favorite part of this whole MTA fare hike is that it is COMPLETELY UNJUSTIFIED!
They lied and hid assets from the comptroller's office to make it look like they were broke - when in fact that millions and millions 'hidden' and not counted as 'assets.' Our MTA is ripping us off and there is virtually nothing we can do about it. A State Supreme Court Judge yesterday said he doesn't have the proper jurisdiction to issue an injunction against the hike. Last I heard they were still trying to stop the hike....

Christine....I don't think unemployment is retro...unless you applied for that week...you don't get money that week...
Melissa (Chippa)...FYI...DH had the problem of being overqualified...and this is tough to do...but cut back on your resume...He had 2 resumes...one to appy to jobs that were what he did...and another to apply to jobs that he is overqualified for...good luck

Erica - she applied the first day she was eligible. I'll tell her to check the dates on the check to see what period it was for. Thx!
