     how about we just prohibit ANY pay increases for legislators till all this mess is SOLVED?

    GOOD MOVE, it just doesn't move FAR ENOUGH.

     It definitely doesn't go far enough.  They should not be getting raises.  They should be CUTTING their pay.  How many state workers are going to lose their jobs?  2,000? 3,000?  I'm sure the rest will not get a raise either, along with MANY other workers in this state, lucky enough to still have a JOB.  Allowing ANY KIND of increase is deplorable, whether it's linked to state employees or the consumer price index.
