Well, It's official. I now care 2% less today than yesterday. What is even more insulting than loosing 2% of what I have earned, is to know that 80% of employees of this state earn less than 45K a year. The legislature must be pleased with themselves and take pride in knowing the state has cemented it's hold on last place in the nationwide rankings for state employees. This short sighted political move will have repercussions for many years. Don't worry though - your insurance won't go up next year.
