- Be REAL here! I heard on the radio yesterday that NYS legislators, already the
- HIGHEST PAID in the nation, are drafting another pay raise bill for themselves!
- Let's not try to pick apart logic, and twist reality! Just look at the salary
- that YOUR state represenatives are making ... $75,000 is TOO MUCH for, what
- is for many of them, a part-time job. Look at their voting records! How many
- no-shows are there? Come on! Pay me that kind of money for doing next-to
- nothing, and I would at least make sure I showed up to vote ... And why should
- these people have their own bank, post office, etc. Who the %$#$#^** are they?
- Let them use the same facilities that everyone else has to use! The pay and
- the perks are WAY TOO MUCH!
