When they collect their annual cost of living increase each April, they are collecting a benefit that they repeatedly tell state employees and teachers we can't afford.

I say "they" because there are representatives in the Alabama House who are fighting for an increase to the minimum wage. There are legislators who are fighting for a pay raise for teachers and state employees and to link Alabama's workers to the cost of living index.

by Representative Darrio Melton

"When we are elected to represent our districts, we are elected to stand for the needs and interests of our districts, not collect a paycheck and hide from the state's problems in an effort to appear more re-electable in November." Representative Darrio Melton

All of this is a far cry from the millions of dollars that Hubbard, Riley and Marsh promised that would have to ensure a Republican Supermajority that is beholden to them.

This legislative session, we have watched the Alabama Republican supermajority waste tax payer money and avoid doing the jobs they were elected to do.

Each day the House has convened this legislative session, they have only worked for two to three hours before adjourning. This is an attempt to slow down the legislative process and avoid discussing any tough issues. This is the coward's way out and it's inexcusable.

The worst part? The legislators are doing less work with more pay and benefits than their staff or the average constituent.

Legislators also receive an automatic cost of living increase every April 1.

The Alabama legislative calendar consists of 30 legislative days spread over three months. For each of those 30 days, legislators receive a $50 per diem, or daily pay. For the days when the legislature is not in session, legislators receive a $10 per diem.

WHY ARE EDUCATORS BEING CHEATED? A few thoughts...
By Bill Britt

Riley, Hubbard, Canary and Marsh are not small government Republicans, they are big government corporatists. They believe in government control and the privatization of the arms of government that can make them and their cronies wealthy. The resistance to give educators a raise is because they want to eliminate public education and privatize it for profit.
