Politician raises are greedy

Posted June 08, 2008 11:00 pm

Isn't nice to know that in times of trouble our elected representatives take care of their families and friends. What a relief! So worried that they might have to put off asking for another raise while the rest of the state is going broke. Kane County officials appear to be the most greedy at this time. But let's not forget our state governing bodies. After all they need a cost of living increase. One question, where's my cost of living increase? I know where more of my tax dollars are going.

In a time when people are losing their homes because of a screwed up state constitution and the fact we are a state that taxes the people without representation, you are asking for more money to fatten your wages and your retirement. Nice going. How do you want your monthly rent check made out to you?
