(LA Times) After eliminating opposition to a pay hike for California lawmakers Gov Jerry Brown, 120 state lawmakers together with 10 other elected state officials were granted a 2% pay hike on last Friday by a state panel whose members claim, that California’s (dubiously) improving economy and budget situation justifies their raises.
Huh???
What improving economy and budget situation? California’s rapidly expanding budget deficit is $421,850,000,000 (per person is presently $10,961)
On the 01 June, I wrote here subsequent to a recent audit of state books it revealed accounting irregularities and an additional budget shortfall of $31+ Billion that together with a $78 Million+ forecast (ObamaCare) ‘Covered California’ deficit next year and ranked as the worst state for business in 2014 according to an annual survey of CEO’s across the United States doesn’t exactly sound like anyone in Sacramento deserves the salary they’ve been receiving, let alone a pay hike.
