The commission had wanted to decrease current officials' pay, but the panel's attorney said California law does not allow that.

So, the people who caused the problem will continue to receive their salary. The people who we want to go in and fix the problem will now get a lesser salary (which wasn't all that high to start with.)

This is just silly, IMO.

Let me get this straight. An 18% pay cut that doesn’t really affect anyone? LOL!

Reading the article, this is little more than window dressing.

Wait a second. Across the board? Shared sacrifice?

No No No No No.

PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR NEVER-CLOSING MOUTHS ARE, LIBERALS.

For any state employee making more than $100k/yr, take the rest. Because I keep hearing non-stop from you filthy hypocrites that no one "needs" more than a share that YOU deem worthy.

And since Hollywood constantly interfere with our voting process, they are, by extension, state employees too.

SO TAKE IT ALL...

Surely, they can "live" on 100k a year like the rest of us unwashed masses, eh?

Um...nobody’s pay has been cut yet.

This is for people who have not been elected yet.
The current crop of bozos will keep their pay.

How about having the state shoot one assembly member each week, name to be drawn from a hat, until the budget is balanced.

Would that not motivate them even more?

Fire half, cut the remaining pay in half, then make them earn it back.

Laws can be changed. Git er done.

A good start. Now, how about slashing the pay of UC and CSU administrators too? They are paid way too much, especially given what they actually do that they try to pass off as “work”.

Then change the damned law to allow these miscreants to suffer from their own stupidity.
