I so sick and tired of hearing people like you bitch about state employee salaries and specifically lumping all of us into one category. My Division has cut cut and then been cut more and most of us are doing the work of 3 FTE's for the salary we earn. How about researching the salaries of the appointed positions vs those of us in the classified service that DONT make triple figures. That's where the cuts should come from! ..and please stop treating your middle class fellow Alaskans like we don't deserve the job we competed for and were hired for and are providing a service to our fellow residents - and then turn around and whine bcuz your PFD might get cut...! Remember we are all in this together - start acting like it!
