I understand that the governor of IL and other cabinet members/House & Senate are due for a raise.

Really, I thought you got a raise if you were doing a good job? Has anyone out there in bloggerland had this conversation:
Boss: Mr(s). Blogreader, you are doing a horrible job for us. You keep spending our finances like there is an endless supply and other things you do makes people who work here cringe and be pissed off. I think you deserve a raise.
Mr(s). Blogreader: Gee, boss, I thought you were going to can my ass. Thanks, now I can afford a better bottle of scotch and some 28" rims for my AMC Gremlin.
As the State of Illinois finances and reputation are swirling down the toilet fast enough to crack the porcelain, I say no raises for a shitty job.
That, and if the rest of us are suffering through elevated gas prices and about all goods and services will go up again in cost because of it, they can tighten their belts too. Set an example. Governor, I think you can live within your means with a $180,000 a year salary (and don't you live free in some Springfield mansion provided to you by us taxpayers?).
Oh, but wait!!! It isn't the governors idea!! He isn't responsible. Don't blame him for the raise. Blame the legislators who voted for it.
Lets close facilities, lay people off and stop funding so those who make $100,000+ a year (with I'm guessing expenses paid) can get a raise. I call bullshit.

The sheer audacity of this raise at this particular time of languishing economy in a State so depleted is mind blowing! It defies logic, insults dignity and assaults the citizens! If it isn't illegal, it should bbe!
