Rep. Steve Riggs (D-Louisville) has gotten on board the "Stop Bobby Sherman's Huge Raise" train with House Bill 57, a bill that would have the entire legislature vote on salary increases for the LRC director.
While we are talking about who decides who gets paid what, why don't we open up the idea of voters deciding what kind of money we should properly pay public employees? Letting the legislature decide that hasn't worked out so well for us.

If the Kentucky General Assembly really wants to cut out unnecessary government services, there ought to be legislation to pardon all non-violent marijuana users.
Marijuana incarcerations costs the state $270 million a year. Yet not one penny was cut from the prison industry budget.
A murderer or child molester is more likely to get out sooner than a non-violent marijuana user.
