The govenor wants to decrease wages for the state workers, how about the law makers that can't agree on the budget. Here's an idea how about those fools getting minimum wages until it is resolved. If they had to live on the wages that most of thepopulation live on a daily bases maybe they would work a little harder.

If you read the stories the Dem actually wanted to increase spending. I believe the gov has finally broke the back of the people. If the gov gets more money they will just raise the pay of their employees, It is past time to say Hell No No More
