Time for more PA politics. State House Speaker John M. Perzel, R-Philadelphia thinks this mental gymnastics justifies his self-voted pay raise:
''The people in Lancaster County who milk cows are making $50,000 to $55,000 (a year). ...You are paying a guy who milks cows $55,000, and (they're) saying it's too much to pay a member of the General Assembly half of what a member of Congress makes?''
Grassroots PA reports that Perzel's salary, after the $37,000 raise he voted for himself, will be $145,000. Hmmm....almost three times that $50,000 the "undeserving" dairy farmer in Lancaster County is making.
I say it once again, VOTE THE BUMS OUT!!!

i personally know the amish and mennonites and have worshiped with them and stayed on thier dairy farms. they work alot harder than any polititions. Give to Ceaser what is Ceaser's as Jesus said. The road to hell is paved with pay raises.
ReplyDeleteExactly! I thought the same thing--that many farmers in PA are Amish and Mennonites. Shame on PA politicians!
ReplyDeletepeople are going to rise up against the polititions one of these days. shame on them. btw...I got the cross of the sick....
ReplyDeleteThere is currently a movement in PA to vote out EVERY incumbent--even if it means writing in someone if the incumbent is running unopposed.
