Arrogance and condescension seen above

Just in case there is any question of whether the leges have learned anything from the public outcry over the obscene lege pay raise read these comments:

[Sen. Bob] Kostelka, [R-Monroe] who staunchly supported his vote for the pay increase, tried to defend the Legislature. He also criticized news media coverage of the session.

“Whether you like it or know it, you’ve gotten good government,” Kostelka said to the several hundred people in attendance [at a Monroe Chamber of Commerce meeting]. “You’ve got good government, and I just hope you appreciate it.” Monroe News-Star, July 17, 2008.

This is proof the leges learned nothing. They remain defiant and believe that we citizens are the enemy.

Let us not forget.
