Is everyone aware that Lawyers are constantly exploiting Civil Rights Laws designed to help people that have truly been ''damaged'' to line not only their pockets but the pockets of their ''clients'' that HAVE NOT been ''damaged.'' Case in point is a so Called Civil Rights Attorney that has made a living off the Tax Payers and he's going back to the good old Well in Yonkers. It seems that several Highly Paid members of the Yonkers Federation of Teachers (YFT) have been reassigned to other schools and they ''claim'' it's because of their age. I ask you...even if this were true where and what are the ''Damages?'' Each of those teachers retained their Salaries and Benefits. Yet, this Lawyer will ''Twist and Manipulate'' the Law to STEAL MILLIONS of YOUR Tax Dollars to line the pockets of his ''clients'' and himself. Nice Gig!!! COMPLAIN TO SOMEONE ALREADY!!! SMARTEN UP AND STOP OBSESSING OVER SPORTS AND REALITY TV and take CONTROL of YOUR HARD EARNED TAX DOLLARS!!
