		<description>Government workers like yourselves are overpaid . Why do you think all state workers need a increase and a bonus?  GOVERNMENT AND STATE WORKERS ARE OVERPAID, PLUS HAVE TOO MANY BENEFITS .  Our poor old seniors could not receive $8.00 a month increase in pay.  I have not seen a teacher nor state worker that does not have a new car, a new home, takes a three month vacation .  You need to see outside the political  box of government.   Who pays your salary?     Teachers and State workers?</description>
