Posted on: How Nevada was set on the path to this budget nightmare

"Raising taxes will result in more private employeees being laid off."

If you think cutting State salaries won't result in more private employees being laid off, go to Carson City in August/September and see how many businesses have closed for lack of State employee expendable income.

We're all in this together.

Posted on: Gibbons: Brace for still more budget cuts

Jim, you remind me of my ball obsessed Labrador. For weeks you've been on a rant about State workers getting 8-10% raises. Many bloggers (me included) have tried to show you the errors in your logic and you just don't listen, but your math doesn't even make sense. If an individual were to get a 4.5% step increase and a 4% COLA, that's 8.5%. Period!!! Nobody is getting above 8.5% and the majority of State employees are not even getting that much.

No, but we told you where to go to get real information.

Now there's the bastion of truth, the RJ editorial section!!! Which by the way, made no mention of having seen any budget detail at all.

Call the State's personnel department and ask them how many employees are topped out. And while you're at it, ask about the wonderful longevity pay program.

Jim, Jim, Jim, I've told you before, I'll tell you again. The majority of State employees will get 4%. Not 6%, not 10% it's 4%. Always has been, always will be.
