There are so many good points here about non-merit employees driving up the average it amazes me. I have been working for the state for 9 yrs as an auditor. It took me 5 just to get my salary level back up to the amount I made LANDSCAPING! I make 1/2 to 1/3 of others in similar professions. I only work for the government for stability. The people that say cut the government have no idea how bad it is now. Fewer and fewer workers there are providing the services THEY DEMAND! Most of the agencies I see are close to non-functional now due to cuts. Let those people do without any government services and see how they do.

Over the past 10 years state employees have recieved no cost of living raise many years. The state only pays on the employees insurance NOT a family plan as most large private employeers. The plans have huge deductibles, large co-pays and no vision or dental coverage. The new state retirement plan is a joke, but necessary since past governors and legislators used the retirement fund like a cookie jar the same as Social Security has been in Washington. “Oh we will pay it back someday”. As a manager I am seeing more stress related illness and wonder when someone is going to crack and start shooting. When it happens it will be the Administration and Legislature who are responsible.

Well said, Mr. Stivers!

I still think Crit should conduct an audit. Adkisson is probably the same as Bob Arnold.

During my time in state government I worked often with the Kentucky Chamber.

Talk about a cushy job. All these guys have to do is meet, tell others how they should handle their affairs, have several cocktails and go back to the comfort of their recliners.

Work for the Kentucky Chamber is nothing more than a SHAKE AND HOWDY deal. Officers get good pay, good health coverage, and get to mix with the the politicians so they can lobby for small business in politics.

The Chamber of Commerce on a state and a national level have changed from what the original challenge was.

To complain state employees need to pay more their insurance is a political tone that pretty much follows the NATIONAL CHAMBER, one of the more powerful groups that has been opposing health care reform.

Talk about having your head up your . . . .these cocktail party guys need to get a life
