ballot proposition to decrease state worker’s pay?

[Anonymous]

Yes Paramount, then all the jobs that were being done by those crook gardeners, sewage public works guys who make those big pay checks (30-50 a year maybe?) can lose their jobs and we can fill them with cheaper labor. who would that be??? hmmm! no private companies wouldn’t use illegal help to lower their cost, would they? Really sick of people scapegoating public workers (I know a few) who do not make these wonderfull paydays that get reported. They are hard workers and their pay is lower then private sector always (for that kook who said they are higher then private jobs, please!) Most public workers are doing things most people would never do (try cleaning up a sewer break at 5 in the morning). Everyone looks at the managment of public workers and what they make but they are not the norm (even then they are still making 10-100 times less than managers in the private sector). So ease up

Did you know that real per capita CA government spending is lower today than it was ten years ago?

In other words, public employee wages are growing slower than inflation.

PlnrBoy, if public employees are so qualified as you say, they can easily find alternative employment in the private sector. Nobody is stopping them. I wish them the best.

It’s not a question of what we should pay but what we can afford to pay public employees. It’s not just how much we pay public employees, but how many we should employ.

I’d love to have a maid to clean my apartment. But if I can’t afford one, then it’s either I clean myself or learn to live in a dirty place.

For example, we now have trash pickup once a week in San Diego. But if we can’t afford that, perhaps we need to learn to live with pickup once every 10 days. Or we need to lower the cost of the weekly service by outsourcing to the lowest bidder.

If voters are unwilling to pay more in taxes (I’m one of them) then the government needs to cut back. That’s pretty simple in my opinion.
