Maine CapitalAUGUSTA – State legislators on Monday will consider a proposal to give government employees $5 million in merit and longevity pay increases.

L.D. 1639 is “emergency” legislation sponsored by Sen. Thomas Saviello (R-Somerset). According to the fiscal note for the bill, it will cost approximately $5 million through fiscal year 2014-15.

Through fiscal years 2015-16 and 2016-17, the package will cost taxpayers an additional $8 million in General Fund and Highway Fund revenues.

What to hell are you thinking? Who else has gotten a raise in this state lately? And you want to take more from the rest of us who are trying to make ends meet and give state employees a raise? I just lost a lot of confidence in the common sense and possibly the integrity of ‘the smartest man in Maine’!!!
