One thing that I cannot understand is why Gov. Josh Shapiro gets a 3.3% raise, $8,000, when he was already making almost $250,000 (“Shapiro poised to become nation’s highest-paid governor,” Dec. 26, TribLive). But the people that are on Social Security that make maybe $18,000 to $20,000 get a 2.8% raise.
I believe that no politician should get a raise without the people voting on it. After all, don’t We The People vote to put them into office? We the working people are the ones that give up something so they can make more money that they do not need. Who needs the money most, millionaires or the ones who are on Social Security?
Also, most of everything he needs while in office is paid for by the taxpayers. People, start using your head to think instead of using it for a hat rack.
