    1. Don’t blame the Governor…blame the State Civil Service system pay scale that can’t keep up with today’s scales of economy

      BUT….Some States civil service pay beats GS3-5 in some cases

    1. (This is how you know she *really* cares).

      What is she doing to materially improve the lives of those folks?

      Right now, $15.76 per hour and seasonal employees are paid only for hours worked, like contract crews.

      A whopping 60 cents/hr bump is available for EMT or CDL certification.

      Treating firefighters like props for PR and reelection flyers.
