This NOPA is for the individual who Senator Hill got a salary increase for as he became Senate President. This individual is in fact a classified employee who experienced a 65% salary increase on the heels of a hiring freeze. They eliminated one position and created another classified position which actually violates the collective bargaining agreement. Note the dates of the signatures and when the process started.
As the “Band of Eight” begins to crumble in a state of confusion, unable to justify their amateurish and poorly planned coup, the truth is coming to light. We thought Senators had more sense than to request payment of campaign debt from public funds, however they never cease to amaze us. Former Senate President Adlah “Foncie” Donastorg was on target to reject this bold request. But this is just the beginning!

Over the past couple days, Senator Russell has had a mouthful to say about ‘Michael’ [Springer]. His ad was so pathetic it seemed unworthy of a response.

To Senator Russell, the self-proclaimed “committed Senator” and “very experienced attorney”: As you suggested to ‘Michael’, maybe you should meet with your pastor, seek counseling, and get an enema to clear your mind of the toxins that have lead to such incomprehensible behavior.
