Yeah, Senator Bakk. Voting yourself a 35 percent pay raise in the middle of the worst economy in seventy years is real 'leadership'.

More fodder for the mid terms. “while your family is taking pay cuts and loosing jobs.. while your family is trying to find the money for gas and food... While you worry how the bills are going to be paid... State Senator Bakk was voting himself a pay raise with your money. Call Senator Bakk and tell him what you think at (651) 296-8881” this message paid for by people who understand your plight.

No really. call him. Be nice but tell um he’s an idiot.

No.

They need a salary REDUCTION. Most Americans have faced pay cuts and layoffs and the geniuses in the legislative arm need to realize that eletive office is NOT A JOB!!!

All senates and congresses, state and federal are pig stys for parasites sucking off the public teat.
They should all be part time with minimum staffs, low pay and no benefits.

They should not be lifetime careers slopping at the public trough.

Its important to publish these things — everyone can make their own judgment on whether the salaries are excessive. To me, the Senate salaries seem excessive for part time work but the governor’s salary of $128K per year doesn’t seem bad.
