Amen kmcmahon!! It hurts going 3 years without a cost of living raise, especially when my spouse and I both are state employees. I think that we need to get the unions from the LR school districts to come help us get a raise. They get one everytime they raise their picket signs. Who knows, we may not be able to afford the health insurance this next year either and have to go ask for the Medicaid ourselves, oh, wait, we always make "too much money" for any help.

They will claim in a few months that the revenue is below the forecast, shove it in their greedy ass pockets and we will be once again screwed out of getting something out of our tax money.

You would think that some of this money would go to State Employees who are doing without raises again this year!
