Anyone curious as to why Hill and others reject even the thought of an audit? Could it have anything to do with the PFA? Things that make you go hmmmm….

Barshinger keeps saying something was falsified, but what exactly? He has not yet said what was false about the car situation. I think this is a huge smokescreen and he is just embarassed that he was caught soliciting proposals for new vehicles. These guys all sounded way out of touch to me.

I heard Senators King of the Hill, Bassinger and Sanes today on the radio and what it disaster it was. I could not understand whether they were for an audit or not. I was truly disappointed it was a bash Senator Donastorg. I am convince they are totally lost and trying to shift the focus of the entire issue. Terrible job at deception. Lets put Senator Donastorg aside for a second, are they going to support an audit or not. Are they considering this is what the people want and expect? Were they saying today all the Senators who voted for the audit were just casting a smokescreen as well? What the point was is beyond me. I truly hope Senator Bassinger has the facts to back up his claim of falisification. I am truly looking forward to seeing who is lying. I could hardly wait for Senator Donastrog response.

Annie,

US Senators make more, but that’s expected-they represent their states (usually several million people) and, in effect, the entire United States.

VI Senators are one of the highest paid ‘state legislatures’ in the country-only California and a few other states pay legislators more. I would argue that our Senators are paid the most proportionally when we look at constituency size.

Hill and ‘Santos’ and Barshinger were smoke and mirrors. They clouded every answer justifying the $95K, $85K salaries they make. ‘Santos’ even said he works 24/7! Gee I have not heard that line since Ronnie was in office. If indeed he does, why does he miss so many committee meetings?
Bottom line, US senators make a whole lot less, get more done for a whole lot more people in half the session time.
Cut all government salaries in excess or $75K.

They sounded like they know what they were talking about to me. Barshinger actually called out Foncie for his actions with the Caribbean Auto Mart document claiming what he did was criminal. The saga continues.

Mr. Donastorg,

Maintain your composure, don’t let the few who think they are in control throw you out of balance. We need you to run for Governor, but you can’t win over the people who believe in you now if you are out of balance. Stay your course. Keep your composure. You may lose the fight, but think of the battle…

Please don’t go there. For an EDUCATOR, you talking about grammatical errors is like “the kettle calling the pot black”.

Ms Petersen, that’s the LAW.
Thank you. (You DO have sense)!!!!!!!!!!!
