When I read the story about the House Speaker's press secretary getting busted for DV, I couldn't help notice his almost $9,000 a month salary. What the hell! These people have no intention of addressing the seriousness of our financial plight. What is the problem with the Speaker speaking with the press himself? Is he incapable of talking? What is the need for a press secretary? How many of this type of employee do we have, and what is the tab?

What part of broke doesn't this legislature understand? This nonsense is a disgrace!
