Born to fish

There are really two worlds out there! If you're younger and working, life is good… but when you get older and you're not working anymore for whatever reason, life is a hell of a lot harder! If you got a supper retirement package …life is good! If not, then you are among the rest of us! Most state workers do have great retirement and medical packages. If you don't work for the state, you probably can not afford to buy such a package!

But there are a lot of us that do not have such great benefits, and that is why we question how much of our money goes to whom and where. It's really nothing personal, but with our limited dollars, its only fair that we know how, and where are taxes moneys are being spent.

You have a very good attitude and understand exactly what every public employee should also understand. thumbs

You say;" I wonder CFM do you want to post the salaries of police, teachers and firemen"

If you go back to my original post, you will notice that ALL state employees were listed. I did not attempt to tell anyone who to check on except WDFW. It is 100% their own choice to do that too. That is why we live in America! The choice is their own. If they want to check up on the salaries of the people who "you have named"…so be it! It is their right to do so! Since you claim to be a "writer" you should know that better then most. It's one of our freedoms that we are still allowed to enjoy. I don't think people really care what the requirements are for becoming a cop, or game warden unless they choose to become one, so what does that have to do with what we are paying them?

You said; "I find that most folks are paid what they can demand based upon education, work history, personality and other related factors. In other words most of us get what we deserve."

Well that's great! Now most people will also know how much we are paying them to do these services! laugh They are "public servants" you know! I don't see a huge fleeing of any public servants lately do you? So it can't be all that bad! laugh
