    And this time Republicans, poisoned by the Snyder brand are on board.

    Automatic wage increases, a term that can only be associated with those on a government paycheck, are actually being considered in a bill sponsored by 'Republicans.'  HB5097, as the Mackinac Center reports, will exempt certain PA312 of 1969 covered employees from PA54 of 2011.

    ".. House Bill 5097, which has 23 co-sponsors, would exempt law enforcement and fire department employees from the law. Specifically, the exemption would apply to employees who are covered by Public Act 312 of 1969, which is a compulsory arbitration law.
    Bravo.

    Perhaps next, they might propose an automatic wage increase for farmers?  Without the heroic acts of farmers none of us might eat! What about plumbers? Fighting fire without water wouldn't work too well.  How about auto makers, etc.. ?

    According to Mackinac there are 18 Republicans co-sponsoring the legislation.  Reps: Kevin Cotter, Hugh Crawford, Kevin Daley, Jeff Farrington, Frank Foster, Ken Goike, Nancy Jenkins, Eileen Kowall, Ken Kurtz, Andrea LaFontaine, Matt Lori, Lisa Posthumus Lyons, Mike McCready, Rick Outman, Peter Pettalia, Wayne Schmidt, Pat Somerville, and Dale Zorn.

    Five Democrat Reps: Vicki Barnett, Paul Clemente, Brandon Dillon, Tim Greimel, and Henry Yanez.

    Bipartisanship.

    It's how 90% raises are approved (none / 0) (#1)

    You scratch my back I scratch yours.

    The State of Michigan quietly increased the salaries of its top investment officials in the Treasury Department by more than 80% this year, saying it was too difficult to attract and keep qualified people under the former pay rates.

    Yup.  Same thing said in the auto biz, and I won't **m in your mouth either.

    Jon Braeutigam, the state's chief investment officer, got a 90% pay raise to $333,000 a year from $175,000, department spokesman Terry Stanton confirmed Friday.

    Tough break John, you're no longer King of the Mountain.  Oh, and, bummer about your Magic Underpants peeps.

    Treasury's two senior directors of investment -- Robert Brackenbury and Greg Parker -- received 82% pay increases, boosting them from $128,000 to $233,000 a year.

    Richard Baird, the top aide to Gov. Rick Snyder, confirmed to the Free Press that he was instrumental in adjusting the salaries.

    Amazing.  Sh!t that Granholm could only dream of getting away with, and that was with a spineless douche like Mike Bishop who was Senate Leader.

    OABTW - Peter Petallia, you shart in your own hat one too many times.  Good luck sucking Northern union arse in 2014.
