Yesterday, on my campaign page,
Mr. Molovinsky Goes To Harrisburg, a member the local Republican Party chided me for taking a Democratic position on the minimum wage increase. He must have mistaken me for a Republican Lite, which I am not. Likewise, I am not a Conservative Democrat. I'm an Independent, who analyzes each issue separately, free of any party playbook. I'm pragmatic, looking for solutions which could be implemented to improve our situation. The voters have been programmed to partisan politics for too long, but they realize that they are being victimized by the stagnation in Harrisburg.
yesterday i hosted numerous comments on the minimum wage. the minimum wage has been a regulation since 1938. the only relevant issue now is when will the new wage be enacted, and how much will it be? although partisans and others may like to discuss the ideology 70 or so years later, such additional comments will not appear here.
ReplyDeleteThere is a little irony in the fact that our state legislators receive automatic raises without having to vote for them. I also hear one official boast about per diem income. I do notdeny them bbasis expenses, however, I take difference when they boast about taking the moral high ground relative to managing taxpayers money.
ReplyDeleteI once visited a GOP Reps office (not in this district). The taxpayer paid staffrt was writing out birthday postcards. The postcard may had contract info on one side, however IMO it was pandetimg for votes and an abuse of taxpayer money.
