Democrat Dave Hansen's Gets A Pay Raise, But Not You


From WBAY.

Here Dave Hansen tells prosecutors to give up pay. Did he tell them and you the rest of the story.
State Furloughs Could Mean Fewer County Prosecutors

"Democratic lawmakers furloughs are a burden all parts of the state must absorb.

"We are all going to have to bite the bullet," Senator Dave Hansen (D-Green Bay) said. "We're doing it, and they are just going to have to work a little bit harder. I'm sympathetic, obviously, but times are tough and we're all doing what we have to do to make this budget work."

Hansen said he and his staff are taking 16 days off without pay. He feels furloughs are necessary to relieve the budget deficit."

Dave, what is this? What is the $2530 raise you received?

From the Wisconsin State Journal.
But not Wisconsin lawmakers. Our fearless leaders -- fearless, apparently, of public outrage at their arrogance -- are mostly accepting higher full-time pay for what most of them acknowledge is a part-time job.

"According to the chief clerks of the Senate and Assembly, 122 of the state's 132 lawmakers started receiving a $2,530 annual raise in their monthly paychecks from taxpayers last week. That boosts each member's annual pay to $49,943. On top of that, each lawmaker receives an average of $11,500 in daily allowances for expenses each year. They also are reimbursed for mileage to and from the Capitol if they live outside Dane County."

That's an extra $2530, $11,500 in daily allowances and mileage. Does your company give you allowances and pay mileage to and from work?

Also if Dave and his staff do not work everyday of the year, it sounds like extra days off. How sweet. Do you get that. Wisconsin politicians even admit they're working only part time to boot? Sweet. Did anyone ever ask Dave Hansen how many days a year he really works. MSM, do your job here.

So to all the people who lost jobs, out of work and are struggling, Dave Hansen is saying one thing and getting something else.

Where is the MSM on calling Dave Hansen and his hypocrisy. And he said " he and his staff are taking 16 days off without pay." YEA RIGHT!

Oh I forgot, it's only your money!
