"State Employee" - Take solace in the fact that other states are this way, too. I am also an indian amongst overpaid chiefs. Solace doesn't fill the gas tank, though.

State Employee, this is what we get for re-electing these kinds of people. They now think they are invincible and can be re-elected just because they all help each other. If the working taxpayers keeps electing these same ones over and over you deserve this and more... Any teacher or state worker should know what these people are?

People think that all state employees make a great deal of money. These two are the exception and they due make a great deal of money. That is whats wrong with the state is it has too many Chiefs and not enough Indians. This Indian would like to make a fraction of their salary, this Indian would be very happy. Some higher ups make more in a month than most state employees make in a year and the Indians also have an earned education. As the old saying goes the rich gets richer and poor gets poorer.
