This is outrageous. The former Attorney General and the Legislature have been braying for quite some time now that there is a huge budget shortfall in Washington State - which is why they have been so eager to raise taxes - so what happens?
As reported here, the former Attorney General, Legislators and Judges have been given a pay raise by a citizens advisory panel! And they accepted it!
Now, I'm all for getting a pay raise - I'd like one, too! - but not when there is a budget shortfall! The former Attorney General and the State Legislature should have at least deferred this pay raise until such time as the budget was out of "crisis", but did they?
Of course not!
