Naifeh's income tax plan is the only proposal any lobbyist would speak up for yesterday.

No surprise there. Like TT said, lobbyists only want the golden goose to keep squeezing it out. The lobbyists need to get out and shut up. Our legislators need to give first consideration to their constituents. If they think they can ever satisfy the lobbyists, they're mistaken. If they think they can satisfy the lobbyists and their constituents at the same time, they're mistaken.

State workers already make 78% of the market rate in pay.

When they work at 40% of the efficiency of private sector workers, they're still way overpaid.

Nice idea, but since when has this been the case? This is a "crisis" created by Legislators for Legislators. Follow the money.
