TO THE EDITOR:
The last I knew, five additional vacation days didn’t feed a state employee or his/her family. I guess our state legislators want to run this state with volunteers.
Thankfully, I don’t consider myself in poverty —something I am sure can’t be said for some of my fellow state employees.
So, for their sakes, I can only hope we vote out of office the legislators who decided that state employees don’t need or deserve a raise or that retirees (who worked many years for North Carolina) don’t deserve a cost-of-living increase in their pensions.
