A Thousand Words...
Her sticker says "Governor, we have a problem." Really?Well, I'm your Mom's , and the Governor's employer and I don't see a problem...except that there are 9,000 "non-essential" employess laid off. Now, therein is the problem: non-essential.
And why should we hire back "non-essential" employees?
Her Mom did want their last name used.
Who do you think her Mom voted for in the last Presidential election?
If you had to guess?

P.S. 7 July-I got a call from a member of the Republican caucus today. We did a rough calculation on what we could save if we eliminated 9000 "non-essential" state employees. Figure $50,000 per employee (salary and generous benefits. I was surprised ,being their employer, at how incredibly generous I am). Add what it costs to support them (computers, furniture, utilities etc.) and we came to a figure of about $900,000,000. Nice savings.
OK. I'm convinced. Congratulations, non-essentials. You are now a part of the solution.
