its just bogus… state employees (government specifically) have the ability to vote themselves raises and accept “bonuses” nearly at will. i think its horseshit. when was the last time we had a budget on time (not to mention one that was accurate)? how bout the last time elected officials had a 100% approval rating? until that point they dont DESERVE any “bonus”. hell in my opinion they dont deserve 1/2 of their regular pay but thats a whole different arguement all together.
