Voter anger over the VT Democrats 2023 bill to double their own pay and give themselves a generous benefits package on top has led to some backpedaling here in 2024. The latest version of the new pay raise bill would only give lawmakers a 42% pay raise (about $6000).
Watch a whining, sarcastic, entitled Sen. Becca White (D-Windsor) meltdown and, among other things, call such a piddling windfall a “tough pill to swallow.”
This from a person who voted for every tax she could on her constituents – the carbon tax on home heating fuels, she’s the lead sponsor of gas and diesel carbon tax bill, she voted for the payroll tax that will hit us this July, she voted for the education spending bills resulting in the estimated 17% property tax increase, she voted for the 20% rise in DMV fees…. But complains that her getting only an additional $6000 per year from those same taxpayers will cause her “financial stress.”
Cry me a river, you entitled brat.
