OT – Whitman Hired Illegal Worker

[carlsbadworker]

Finally a relevant post. You’re right on.

Who care about this whole drama? The election is really a fight between public employee and tax payer. In a budget crisis, if you can’t print money (or in US government’s case, you can’t print money fast enough), it is either a reduced pay/benefit/pension for public employee or to increase tax. I see no other way out of it.

All other things are just noises, ignore them.

[quote=enron_by_the_sea]So let us get this discussion back to something substantive.

Imagine this scenario in November 2010

[1] Prop 25 passes allowing 50% vote for passage of budget – but as it is alleged, it contains a backdoor for tax hikes disguised as fees.

and/or

[2] Dems pick up 3 seats in state assembly and 2 seat in state senate (This is easy because Abel Maldonado’s seat is open). This gives them 2/3 vote in house and senate to do whatever they want.

[3] People are screaming pass the budget, so it gets passed with increased taxes or fees depending on [1] or [2]

Who do you want your governor to be?[/quote]

How much do you pay your housekeeper?

As a newly minted bachelor, I was wondering what people pay for house cleaning services. I had a woman clean my 3,500 sq. ft. home yesterday. She was highly recommended by my girlfriend and her mother and I figured my home needed a deep cleaning.

When I asked what she charged after the initial walk-through, she said, “I don’t know, you can decide after I finish”. OK. (?) I guess that is the protocol. So, she spends seven hours and does a great job. Alberta used some of my cleaners and some of her own. I supplied mops, brooms, vacuums, buckets, sponges and rags.

I am thinking a good hourly rate for unskilled labor is around $10 to $15 so seven hours at $15 is $105. She mentioned that some clients pay her $25 per hour (GF’s mom’s home is in Fairbanks Ranch). I wrote the check for $120 and she seemed OK with that.

So what do you pay? Do you pay by the project or hourly? Hire from a service (licensed and insured) or individual? Take out employment taxes? How often do they clean?

Thanks much.

$100 for 3000sf every 2 weeks, but would probably pay more for the first pass.

I was going to answer then I thought of same thing.

Are your housekeeper and gardeners legal? Are you paying payroll taxes?

Actually considering what I already posted on Piggington, my chances at public office are now nil… so I’ll answer.

I pay $50 cash for a 2/2 apartment. She’s Mexican and drives from TJ. She has a border pass.

Veritas,

My apartment takes 30 minutes to clean. I just need the floors and the bathrooms cleaned. Unlike most people’s houses, my place is very utilitarian, sparsely furnished, and devoid of junk.

I make my own bed every morning and I fold my own laundry.

The difference between me and Meg Whitman is that I’m not a hypocrite. I don’t do the opposite from what I feed my base for votes.

BTW, my housekeeper will soon become an American citizen because she’s married to an American. That was a pretty good move, don’t you think?
