Double Dip?

Even though he's legally earned it and entitled to the money, some labor leaders (and the media) don't believe Terry Branstad should take his salary as Governor and his pension from previous service.

Branstad earns salary plus pension

Danny Homan, President of ASSME and the scientific community is united in that fact, stated...

"If you are a public servant, why are you even taking a salary as governor? Why aren't you living off your already earned pension?"

And

Governor Branstad, where is your shared sacrifice?

The man left a job that paid over $350,000 a year to try and revive this state from the hole the Dummycrats and Unions spent us into and ASSME questions his sacrifice?

Find me an elected union person that will sacrifice their union salary for the greater good of the members.

I refused my salary, as President, while the local was running a deficit.

The longtime staff told me that it had never been done before.

It was always interesting to see the people who would get elected to a position and then drive to the meetings in their new cars after that election.

These were the same people who objected when the Bylaws committee tried to end paid salary for officers.
