I voted absentee, NO on all except 1F...

I (think I) voted to stop pay raises in deficit years.

Now, that’d be the FIRST real incentive in years for a legislator to have a balanced budget.

Then it would just depend on how much “gifting” they were getting form special interests. But getting raises while spending the state in to the ground is absurd.

I sure hope I read the proposition correctly. LOL.

No on everyhting, including 1F.

If it provided for permanent forfeiture of pay (for non-performance) is the only way I'd vote for it.

As proposed, their pay is simply postponed, and they get per diem for ripping off the taxpayers as long as they want.
