Salary Wars

Oh, this is hilarious. Another way to knock off the political competition before it even gets off the ground...

Hat tip to The Carpetbagger.

It's definitely a good first step.

I went to college with Gov. Napolitano; she was a senior when I was a freshman, and was a rising star even then. Good on you, Jan!

Janet Napolitano is awesome! She makes moderate but humane decisions and has the support of Dems as well as a lot of Reublicans. Not a Steady Freddy; I can say that I *did* vote for her (g)!

Hmmm...

While I've often thought it would be amusing if state representatives were salary capped at their state's median income for a family of four, and I also have no arguments about Governor Napolitano's virtues (I don't know her from Adam's off-ox), I do have one question: Does she actually live off her salary? Or is she like Der Terminator in Sacramento? And what are the housing cost (say) in Phoenix?

Because it's not wise to set salaries for government positions so that only the independently wealthy or economically... creative... are willing to take the job.
