Schwarzenegger’s New Take
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has come up with yet another proposal – a 5% cut in state workers’ salaries. Now if the state workers were 2,000 or 20,000 in number, this proposal would not be such a huge setback. It is being frowned upon because the number of state workers is no less than 200,000! And that’s a lot of people!! If one was to combine the current mandatory furlough on government workers, the people would have to bear up with a 15% pay cut.
The proposal, to be announced Friday is expected to save the state $470 million, but please tell up – at what cost!
