11.1/16% raise?
Seriously? OUT OF CONTROL GUBBAMINT.
State law prevents the legislature from voting FOR a pay raise. They instead “tricked” the voters into supporting the creation of a commission that would review and recommend pay hikes — which the legislature could only reject, NOT VOTE FOR.
If they DO NOT “vote to reject” within a specified period of time, it is automatically enacted.
Which brought us to this week’s threshold.
