Title: Unpaid National Guard
Post by: Romona on July 31, 2009, 04:20:30 PM

Since the Budget has not been passed in our state yet. Members of the National Guard from our state that are overseas are not getting their monthly stipend checks. I think this is a disgrace. Bad enough none of the workers are gettting paid. But our National Guard is getting screwed too! These people are defending us and are putting their lives on the line.

I heard on the news last week that PA, Connecticut and North Carolina are the only three states that aren't operating with a budget.  It is effecting so many people.  No paychecks, hiring freezes, furloughs.  Stop the budget committees paychecks and turn off the airconditioning and allow no food in the state house.  It is a stupid situation.

I just can't believe we are still waiting for pay days. There are people that haven't been paid since the last week of June.

I think Zinbabwe sounds good! I just can't afford the air fare.  :rofl;
