Every year politicians--from City Councils and County Boards of Supervisors to State representatives and Congress--give themselves raises - sometimes they give themselves >60% raises! Not including their multiple offices, paid staff members, car and travel allowances--don't you wish YOU could give yourself a raise? Let VOTERS decide politician raises-not politicians!
Why is this important?
It's time for the politicians to answer to their constituents, instead of taking away educational funds, senior and children's services, veteran benefits, and taxing small family businesses into extinction. All politician raises and compensation packages should be voter-approved.
