Guess you don't have the time to read the articles.
"Rickey Hendon, D-Chicago, called the more than $8,000 per year boost headed his way “a little bitty raise” and said he deserves the money."
I like that.... "Deserves"
"Most lawmakers earn more than the base salary by receiving extra annual stipends of between $9,000 and $25,000 for chairing committees and serving in leadership roles in the General Assembly."
"They also receive an expense check from taxpayers to help them pay for hotels, food and fuel when they meet"
"John Cullerton, D-Chicago, argued in favor of the pay hike, saying judges and county prosecutors deserve the cash."
Again. Deserve. I like that.
"Kimberly Lightford, D-Maywood, said the increase would make up for several years in which lawmakers have not received cost-of-living adjustments."
Several years?
Can you not see where I am coming from or are you so in love with your party that they can do no wrong, even though they are doing wrong?
I don't get it.
