Way to go Alabama....Good Old Boys Strike Again!!
The Alabama State Legislature used a voice vote to grant themselves a 62% pay raise. Gov. Riley is going to veto it...but it will probably be passed anyway when that veto is overturned. This move has been compared to a smash and grab robbery. I kind of agree with that analogy.
Luckily there has been some press on the issue so it is NOT going unnoticed. There are even plans for a march on Montgomery on Tuesday March 20 at the State House. So anyone who would like to take a stand and say that they are not going to accept this...check out the following links and make a point to be there on Tuesday!!

I hope they get a few thousand people there...but chances are it's not enough time to get that large of a group. Make sure you pass the word to your family and friends....get as many people there as possible and get this shot down!!

OH My Gravy.. and my husband works for the town, for the entire town & gets 3.5 % IF he's lucky.. last year all of our town employees went without a raise.
That's a slap in the face to all you tax payers and working folks.. Start writing to all your papers loud and proud.. vote them out.. ! Good luck.. that's sheer ludacris (sp)
