Oklahoma legislators to get 35 percent pay raise

[RickN]

We do 20 years projected traffic counts and design accordingly. Sometimes they are wrong, they dont have a magic ball that tells them.
There is corruption and waste anywhere you have lots of money changing hands, as a rule. All the way up to Obama

Well we agree on the corruption and waste but to me that just means the state pukes need to try harder.

"In addition to their base salary, Oklahoma lawmakers receive travel and meal reimbursement and health and retirement benefits that bring their total average compensation to about $54,992"
I'd like to know more about the health and retirement benefits...lifetime?...Pension?...4019(k)?

I'd like a 35% raise too.

Anyone here running for office? Since it's a cush job with astronomical pay and "tHeY oNLy WoRK fOur MoNThs!"..... it seems some boys should sign up for this?

I sure would if I thought I could get enough votes. $54K would be a substantial raise for me and I need the insurance and retirement.

Are you going to tell us there is no waste or corruption at ODOT?

Ha . . .

We moved to Southern Logan County back in 2007. I drive through Edmond to my office near the Kilpatrick Turnpike. So many aggravating road designs and construction schedules.

People who live near Kelly and Coffee Creek can attest to the idiocy in how that intersection was recently redesigned.

I would but the one time I was asked to run for office they changed their mind. Seems there is not a Nuclear Party that wants to nuke the capital and start over. The party elite thought they were doing a bang up job.

My question, when it comes to the educational system is WHY are there so many School Superintendents in the state with at least half of them getting over 100k a year in salary.

Exactly. There is no need for these positions. It’s ridiculous. They have principles and school boards. No need for a superintendent. Definitely no need to pay them what they get paid.
