Does that mean they should have their wages cut? Sure. Its just that you have to look dollar for dollar at what was going out before and what goes out now and base the cuts on that.

So they don't get paid for committees they don't attend so to make up for it we give them a raise? The raise doesn't include the money it's going to cost us for that golden retirement plan they gave themselves too. Don't kid yourself, by the time it's all said and done, it's going to cost us tax payers a hell of a lot more than you think.
