Sloooooowly read the article again where it says they are non partisan and are establishing these salaries based on the job description and general inflation, NOT any judgement on performance. In fact they had very limited increases on some jobs where they felt the responsibilities hadn't changed. It sounds to me like the commission is being thoughtful and prudent, which is much appreciated. If YOU don't think a certain politician deserves a raise then it is incumbent upon YOU to campaign and vote them out of office. Using all caps and exclamation points in a comment doesn't magically make it happen. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Hmmm...sound familiar?
