Judges orders millions paid in NYC firefighter bias case
A U.S. district judge ordered New York City to pay $128 million in to firefighters who allege the city used an entrance exam that deliberately sought to keep African-Americans and Latino Americans off the force. The judge also ordered the FDNY to hire 293 black and Latino applicants.

I agree that there was most likely discrimination, but how is a cities tax payers responsible for the mismanagement of its fire department. Such a travesty and wasted monies, that really doesn't fix the real issue. Get the bastards, cheaters, liars, etc out of public positions as soon as there are any conspicuous/shady happenings... oh, but I forgot it takes an act of God to fire any state government worker. So we are here sitting with our hands tied waiting to be screwed again and again. Awesome.
