TOP HEAVY STATE GOVERNMENT.

    The other day in the Providence Journal was and article and in the article it stated that Steve Kass makes a salary of $111,000 as the Governor Media administrator. As a state employee I take this as a slap in the face. How many more consultants and administrators are there making this kind of money when the Governor want to cut the benefits of the working people.

     If the governor wants to balance his budget, do it on their back, not on the backs of the state workers that are doing the work that keeps the state running, like institutional attendants, maintenance people, cleaners and others that do the real work and are paid a lot less than they deserve.

    The fact is that state government is top heavy. There are more Directors and Assistant directors, Administrators and their assistants then there are department all making big salaries, maybe if the governor abolishes some their jobs the governor could hire some people to do the real work and wouldn't need to hire so many highly paid contractors to do our jobs.

     The citizens of Rhode Island should question why there are so many bosses and so few people doing the real work and why are there so many highly paid contractor doing the work that state employee used to do. We pay into the pension fund they don't.
