Pay Raise Protest Letter From Fort Worth Resident
Dear Editor. Our Austin legislators passed a 300 percent pay raise amending the ballot to limit pay to one third of the governor. Taxpayers face 3.5 million yearly cost as voters lose future pay raise rights. The governor sets salaries and per diem rising from 30 to 81 dollars. Fort Worth resident Lynn Oates urges stopping the pay raise and joining the fight.
