Cut public servant pay

I’m glad The Spokesman-Review revealed the huge salaries we pay our public servants. I’ve seen my utility bill and property taxes skyrocket to pay these wages. I’m all for American capitalism, but this is nothing but extortion at gunpoint to pay these obscene salaries by taxes, or lose your house.

None of these public servants could possibly make this amount in the real world, along with the multimillion-dollar pension. Where does it say we have to pay them three to six times what the average Spokane citizen makes, when any Joe Blow can replace them in a minute? I’d like to smash a raw egg on the next union boss that says, “We just don’t have enough resources to afford that.”

I wish Spokane voters would educate themselves the next time they vote for these overpaid tax zealots. Monkeys could run a great city with the funds at City Hall, and we could pay them with bananas.

Wake up!
