I want a 7 thousand dollar raise

Apparently it's what the those who belong to the Illinois state legislator get. Even better they are suppose to get a raise for not doing their job. Thats the best part. I think that if I got my 7 thousand dollar raise couldn't be worse at least I do my job. I get that the suggestion comes from and independent board. But come one now this is the State of Illinois, is it even possible to have and independent board. I sure it just made up of more people who contributed to someones campaign, or some senators, in laws. Apparently that is the only way we know how to do business in the state of Illinois. I wouldn't even care if the state was run that way, if things got done. That is not the case in what has become the sad sad state of Illinois. They are really good at increasing taxes especially in the lovely city and county I currently call home. Again I wouldn't even mind paying more if we were getting more, but that is really never the case is it.
