Where does this idea come from when the government can take taxpayer money and decide to spend it by giving government employees five days of vacation time for simply accepting the covid-19 vaccination? The state treasurer estimates this is going to cost $100 million.
It comes from the arrogance of the government that knows nothing about earning a pay and spending it prudently.
Spending money that is given to you is much easier than spending money you work hard for.
Perhaps the incentive of providing one day of vacation was a reasonable incentive … but five days?
Wake up, Pennsylvania citizens, and vote out these type of politicians who think this subsidy is OK.
If anyone thinks this idea is OK, where does this end?
Where’s the subsidy for the taxpayers who received the vaccine? Will vaccinated Pennsylvania citizens be receiving the same type of reward?
Sorry, state employees, this is not right to spend taxpayer money without having approval of the elected legislators.
