Comments on Tillis giving 27% pay raises to staff

For the rest of us State employees that haven't had a raise in three years, while gas prices, food prices, etc. have soared, we salute you, Mr. Tillis- with a one-finger salute!

As a registered republican this is outrageous.  Mr. Tillis there are people who work for this state that have not had raises in 3 years.  I hope the governor vetos your budget and at that time I hope all state employees and teachers line up at your office demanding raises.  In the meantime I will be heading to the elections office to change to independent, both parties are so out of touch with the people of this state.


Mr. Tillis, that is the people's money you are handing out as if it were your money.
If you had not given the staffers raises, would they had left? Are you telling me that you would not have been able to hire someone else just as good or better at $110,000?
There is no justification for what you have done given the economic conditions we now face. You should retract this error in judgment and ask the people for forgiveness. You should apologize to us, we the people.
I can imagine that for the staffer who went from $110k to $140k that it will be difficult for them to actually live off of their $110k salary, but tell them what you tell the rest of the State employees: deal with it!
