Re: Political raises should have more oversight. (Letters, Sept. 14)

Thank you so much for speaking up to us abused taxpayers. To those who have chosen to ignore this critical under-addressed subject, this should finally be an eye-opener.

That being said, now itB次元官网网址檚 time to end this exploitation, corruption, and greed, by the public servants. ItB次元官网网址檚 time to take control of these overpaid, underworked employees. IB次元官网网址檓 sure thereB次元官网网址檚 tons of money to be saved. B次元官网网址極vertimeB次元官网网址� wouldnB次元官网网址檛 exist to these employees if they used 100 per cent of their eight hour days actually doing their jobs and not depending on the overtime offered at the end of each month. Come to think of it, perhaps itB次元官网网址檚 a good thing that these people arenB次元官网网址檛 putting in 100 per cent to each day. If they worked any harder, they probably wouldnB次元官网网址檛 need half the employees.

At the end of the day there is more than enough work in Victoria. I congratulate you on your letter, Elaine. After all, 99 per cent of us are aware that we canB次元官网网址檛 spend money that we donB次元官网网址檛 have. Plain and simple. If I can have a budget at home then shouldnB次元官网网址檛 the government?

It is a tight budget, but I take pride in not being in a B次元官网网址渢axpayerB次元官网网址檚 pocket.B次元官网网址�
