I agree with Chetly that this is the price of serving the taxpayers of this state. <BR/><BR/>What I am upset about is the campaign to balance the state budget on the backs of the rank and file state workers. Especially when it is being pursued by the very politicians that couldn't manage to keep that budget from ballooning out of control, while accepting automatic pay raises of as much as 37% in recent years.<BR/><BR/>Cut the congress's pay. Make them part-time. Keep term limits. Cut their staff to the needed minimum. Stop all gifting, junkets and free travel to "conferences". Make th3em do this job as a service, while maintaining their own private sector career. <BR/><BR/>Then you can talk to me about a three percent pay raise over a five year period, that doesn't even come close to keeping up to cost of living increases.Beermehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220164574786223737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12208632.post-56651312019438269032007-06-28T13:53:00.000-07:002007-06-28T13:53:00.000-07:00Saw your comments about LSJ and the Employee datab...Saw your comments about LSJ and the Employee database over at Chet Zarko's blog...
