State workers get pay cut-- what about legislators' pay cuts?

..............................................
And what have we been saying about Republicans being on the side of the wealthier class? Looks like we have some proof here!

Lawmakers cut state worker pay; few took cuts themselves
BRAD SHANNON

Lawmakers cut most state workers’ by 3 percent this year, but few have taken pay cuts of their own despite crafting legal language encouraging themselves and statewide elected officials to do so.

Four House members – out of 147 Senate and House lawmakers – have elected to cut their pay. [snipped] [And which party do the four represent? One Republican, three Democrats.]

A few state officials are donating money to charity or scholarships instead of waiving pay. As of Friday, Gov. Chris Gregoire, state Treasurer Jim McIntire and state schools superintendent Randy Dorn, all Democrats, were the only statewide elected officers to have signed up for pay waivers using a new form available through the state Citizens’ Commission on Salaries for Elected Officials’ website, www.salaries.wa.gov.
