Letter to the editor: Taxpayers can't afford government's raises
Once again the taxpayers of Pennsylvania have been played for suckers by our government. Why is there no rebellion when our governor feels it’s OK to give his cronies thousands of dollars in raises paid for by the taxpayers, and where does the line start to collect some of this cash (“Gov. Tom Wolf started 2nd term with hefty raises to senior aides”)?
These are the same people who can’t even balance a budget, yet they deserve a raise. Get real. I don’t think the people of the government realize they are pushing citizens to the limit, and it needs to come to a head soon.
I just hope the people who voted for Gov. Tom Wolf are happy. Maybe they will get a cut of one of these big raises. Yeah, right.
