You said the state politicians should take a pay cut... I was just saying the state legislator typically doesn't make that much money. :-) They are actually in a kind of weird situation. They only work half of the year, so they need a flexible job or they need to be self-employed. Very strange actually... I don't know that the current system of paying a state legislator half of a salary can really bring out the best candidates. Who knows... something to consider doing better times I suppose.

Yeah, I realized that you had mentioned legislators after I hit submit, sorry about that! They don't have to take half pay cut, but just something that will help to budget during these hard times. I don't think it is right that we have to always bail out the irresponsible city, state and federal persons that abuse the system with reckless spending.
Hell my buddies? boss makes s100K a year and he is never around. He has told me others have seen him at his house, the bar and other places when he should be at work. The only way to get in touch with him is by phone.
I am sure he will be gone because there are a few that have documented this and filed complaints. He also mentioned that this guy is not the only one, so who knows what is going to happen, but it is time for some big changes.
