I am totally shocked that 250 legislative staffers are getting a pay raise... One is getting a monthly $6792 raise to bring her salary up to almost $143,000..........and in the same breath these legislators are asking Californians to pay more taxes and loose benefits. (Sorry it's not just Democrats asking for more money out of your pocket. A Republican legislator wants to let Local governments have the authority to raise the Vehicle Licensing Fee VLF to finance their needs. That doesn't sound like "lowering taxes" to me.)
