<<20.000+ public employees.>> Does that include the local school district, or whatever the local equivalent of a county government might be? Dallas, in comparison (in Texas where government is evil and small<g>) has 19200 working for the school district 12700 working for the city 8800 in the community college district 6600 working for Dallas County and they don't sweep the streets, nor do they take much vacation time. dallasisd.org downtowndallas.org
