Give legislators a raise? No way


NEWSDAY - February 13, 2015

Long-time and valued community human service organizations are routinely folding because of New York State's neglect and lack of vision. Meanwhile, Newsday's solution to corruption in Albany is to use taxpayer dollars to give salary increases and ban outside income of elected officials to deter extortion, embezzlement, tax evasion, bribery and obstruction of justice ["More pay for less play," Feb. 8]?

I don't think so! Investigate and, if they are found guilty, take away their pensions for starters.
