Take A Pay Cut … Save A Job
Governor Rell has told Connecticut Prison Guards the state can’t afford the pay raise the state has agreed to pay them and wants them to pass on it. It’s not likely to happen.
Legislators say it’s unlikely to happen this year because Democrats, who traditionally support state-employee unions, hold two-thirds of the seats in the Senate and more than two-thirds in the House.
But it’s not just Connecticut. I never got to this piece of sound this week … so let’s do it now. In Feyette County, Georgia, officials are asking teachers to take a pay cut to avoid layoffs. More here.
