now - You are a very wise person.

I'm with you Goalieman...I sit in a HOT office everyday and they tell me there's nothing they can do. (80-85degrees) I love my job, but now they don't even want to pay us. Let some of them come sit in my HOT office for just an hour and see how they like it. Thank God I'm on vacation today or I would have passed out by now. Come November, let's get these clowns out of office!

It seems like most state employees will get a 2.75% pay raise or $1,100 which ever is greater. Unless you are the Governor and other top officials which all get 2.75% on a six figure salary which is more than $1,100. By the way a new teacher salary goes from $29,750 to $30,220 a whole $470.

Compared to proposed budget by governor weasley, it appears that the house has comed to their and the reason for that is that they know come november a lot of them will not being going back to lane street. It is going to be interesting to see how Rands Raiders are going to try to increase the tax burden on the average citizen of nc.

This story has to be incomplete. It didn't say a word about all of the cuts they made in their pork barrel spending. I am sure WRAL will update the story to reflect how responsible our legislators are.

Everybody that is upset about this needs to show your frustration in November. That is something puzzling to me is how people in NC complain day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year about our elected officials and the insane things they come up with and do. Then, come election time, the same ones are voted right back in and the cycle begins again.

The politicians (all of them) in downtown Raleigh need to have a house cleaning and we need to get some new blood in there. Most of the highest tax and spend Democrats we had are now in prison so that is one step into cleaning house.
