80 cents on the dollar for pay and benefits??? That’s bullshit. It has to stop asap.
“In California, where an estimated 80 cents out of every government dollar goes to employee pay and benefits, Gov.

He also wants state workers to kick in higher pension contributions to help deal with California’s staggering deficit.”
