Full story: LSJ.com

Gov. Jennifer Granholm warned Tuesday of a possible 20 percent cut in state spending next year, a draconian step after billions in cuts since 2003 already have dented police and fire services, pushed schools toward insolvency and reduced oversight of prison inmates.

Let us see, they the legislators get a 80K salary, they get 12K expense account but have no checks and can get more money by asking for it again no trail for the money. They get an allowance for a staff how much well let us just say 100K, damn that is almost 200K for some jerk who can't do his job because he needs more time to screw the people of the district he came from.6 years is on a average 1.2M dollars. What do we get in return SCREWED.
I am sick of these spokeswomen and men speaking for these so call legislators, MS
Grandholm and Mr bishop open your own mouth and be held accountable for what you say.
You should be ashamed of what you have done to this state and even more so for what you have done to very fiber of this nation. You all should be recalled and made to repay your salary to the state. You people make me sick and don't deserve to be in public office. You are the scum of the earth and Mr bishop and Dillion and you too Ms Grandholm should hang your head in shame. You have taken something good and bended it to a shape that no one wants or cares yet you take your money and ask for more yet at the same time you cut our childrens education and protection because of your GREED. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR ACTIONS AND YOU KNOW THE SAD PART IS I THINK YOU ARE PROUD OF THEM.
