Titles = $$
This WRA editorial is a real beauty. It starts out:
And let's not forget the House side where Democrats added 8 caucus members and then created 11 new "leadership positions" (on top of the existing 34), ostensibly because of the growth in their caucus.The state Senate has 36 members. Guess how many hold "leadership" positions?
Those who said 36 get an A in civics for today.
The editorial's closing paragraph is a doozy:
Each party and chamber requires a small number of leaders to manage the flow of legislation. But self-aggrandizing and payroll-padding of this magnitude says a lot about lawmakers' exaggerated sense of self-worth and their utter disrespect for the people's money.Does anyone happen to know if it's true that these "titles" are basically a way for them to avoid a vote on a raise?
