A few more suggestions for saving tax dollars
Jamestown’s Shirley deLong’s letter, “Cut politician’s pay first,” May 3, had the right idea, but I want to add a few more ideas to her list.
If we stopped Congress’ privileges of free mail services and free junkets to other countries (at least make them pay out of their own pockets for taking their wives and families along), free chauffeur-driven limousine service (let them drive their own car or take the bus to work), and if they miss a day’s work, dock their salaries, and we could gain a fairer exchange for our tax dollars.
Why must we treat these people like royalty?

Reminds me of former gov. Easley and his chauffeured Italy trip.

Because they expect it.
