This is a disgrace — take away people's health care to give someone a pay raise. This governor needs to open his eyes and really see what he is doing. Like to see the govt. or state worker live on a fixed income or income under $30,000. To give an increase like this is wrong. There should be a cap on income.No wounder this state loses people all the time and move else where. You can only work so many jobs in a day, I myself am thinking of moving out of state as well. This use to be a nice place but with the corruption going on who wants to be here?
