Does the pay cut count against their current legislative salary?<br />2. If they do get the 3K raise, that's really not a big deal in a pension universe that takes the average of the three biggest years. That really only makes a difference when people get raises in the tens of thousands, which is why no one ever takes a state job with a slightly higher salary at the end of their career to boost their pension. The math just doesn't work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730552595439161417.post-27447419584020532902011-01-03T14:45:56.308-05:002011-01-03T14:45:56.308-05:00Time to ask them all to take a pledge.....if they ...Time to ask them all to take a pledge.....if they did not accept the increase in 2010, then have them re-pledge to keep their salary at the 2010 level. How can you get them to pledge ??? The Minority Leader had a lot who declined the raise last year...maybe we should start with his caucus. Maybe this can get to the Boston Newspapers.... sounds like a good story in the making !

Our local Rep. said he would &...WOW, great insight. Our local Rep. said he would "donate" to charity last year so as not "accept" the increase. Really...who can prove he actually made the donations? Will he show us his 2010 Fed. Return? He did get the increase in his paycheck, so we have to trust he did the right thing. I do not trust ANY of THEM. Same old story on Beacon Hill...with per diems, etc. etc. Time for a PART-TIME legislature like NH. After all, they do hardly ever work on anything important. But nice insight by LRYIC !!Tummymannoreply@blogger.com
