California Lawmakers Get a Pay Raise –Image: Daily Coronado
(Cal Watchdog) The California Citizens Compensation Commission have voted to boost the salaries of Gov Jerry Brown and the State Legislators.
What a great move? According to The American Spectator California has the highest poverty rate in the nation together with the educational performance of students ranking near the bottom as measured by the Natl Assessment of Educational Progress, a shrinking industrial base–declining 11% more than in the U.S. as a hole but everything is coming up smelling like roses if you are a state lawmaker–which everyone else is paying for.
Add in the dismal jobless rate of 8.6% higher than the national average of 7.5% a negative net worth of the state and falling tax revenues in state coffers but everything is coming up roses–if you’re a lawmaker in Sacramento, everyone else is paying for it.
