Earned
benefits

I am very angry that acting Gov. Richard
Codey calls the benefits of state employees and teachers
"entitlements." That is like calling them welfare benefits.
Our benefits are not handouts. We earned them. What I would
like to know is what "entitles" the governor's brother to
the huge increase in pay and resulting bump in pension since
the state senator became governor. It's amazing how
politicians get on their high horse about a working person
getting a pension but put their families at the trough when
they get the chance.
