The problem is if they worked in the private sector they would be working for organizations that generated revenue and the compensation would be on par with the revenues of the organization.
Public sector jobs, pensions, and entitlements cannot be sustained to a level where tax revenues are sapped away.
If there was strict adherence to the budget then society would be served better. Your oath for taking public office is to serve society, not to compete with the private sector for salary. This is your choice, not your right. Should you make a decent living and a fair salary? Yes.
How many private sector jobs have publicly paid for pensions?
Looking at the city of San Diegos obligations clearly the numbers do not add up. Nor do they for the state.

Participantif they base the pay increase on increase in cost of living and inflation, that would be reasonable and acceptable.
but 36% is a far cry from 9% inflation over the last 4-5 years. and I know cost of living has stayed about the same if not decreased.

Participant[quote=Eugene]Dumanis is a lawyer with 34 years of experience. Gore manages a department with 4,000 employees. Care to guess how much people with similar skills/experience make in the private sector?[/quote]
Experience can be a reasonable argument, but show me the metrics such as effect on reducing criminal conduct, increased prosecutions and a reduced cost and increased public satisfaction with their leadership then I would possibly vote for a raise. It seems like they all want to put various issues on a public ballot, why not do it with their raises.
