In an effort to help keep Maryland moving forward a citizen commission is recommending pay raises for both the Governor and the members of the Maryland General Assembly.

Criticism immediately came from all 14 Republicans in the General Assembly that the elected officials should not be considering a pay raise in a time when tax revenues are declining and liberal spending is out of control. In a retort, someone overheard Delegate Kumar Barve say that he'd take the Republicans' pay raises if they didn't want them and he'd celebrate with a beer.
The hypocritical President of the Senate Mike Miller stated while slicking back his hair that salaries are so low that the members cannot support their families, this despite the fact that most members have full time jobs that pay them hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Senator Miller's statement violates the original intent of public office that it is a part-time job to serve the public, not a full-time gluttonous entitlement to the public coffers. But sadly that is the mentality of our corrupt elected officials. Show them the money!
