Disgusted
minds are reading a Sacramento Bee article New speaker grants
Assembly pay hikes.
New
Assembly Speaker John A. Perez gave his top aide an annual pay increase of
nearly $65,000 - about $5,400 per month - upon becoming leader of the lower
house, records show.
Ramirez's annual salary is now $190,008 -- $80,424 higher than that of Perez
or Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, whose pay was
dropped from $133,639 to $109,584 last year by the state's independent
salary-setting commission. Legislators not in leadership positions are paid
$95,291 a year.
There
are more examples in the article.
Perez Swearing In Speech
Please consider Speaker John A.
Pérez: California Must Unite Around Solutions
March
1, 2010
At his swearing-in as California’s 68th Assembly Speaker at the State
Capitol today, Speaker John A. Pérez (D-Los Angeles) said his top
priority is to get Californians back to work. In his speech, which was
delivered before several hundred community and business leaders, working men
and women and elected officials, Pérez said he would work to implement
innovative ideas around job creation and government reform and he also
pledged to work across both sides of the aisle to deliver results for
Californians.
Top Priority Is
Spending Money
It took a mere two weeks for California Democratic Speaker John A. Perez to
prove his top priority is not jobs, but rather spending money and padding the
pockets of his friends and associates.
California voters, I have a simple question: Why do you put up with the likes
of John A. Perez and his ilk?
Seriously
how can you vote for this fiscal moron?
