I can tell you why. More money in the private sector and better benefits. Everybody always bashes the state employees, but not many people want their jobs or they use the state as a stepping stone or training ground for higher paying jobs. Which is probably what you did. Most of the state employees I know take great pride in their jobs and lives. They have hit many bumps and keep on going. Sounds like you hit a bump and left, just like so many others. So come down off you high horse. I SUPPORT OUR STATE EMPLOYEES!!!! Well Mr. Red Ranger, if state employees have such great salaries and benefits why did you quit after 15 years? I can tell you why.

I was one for 15 years and believe salaries are much higher than they were when Freudenthal came in. You are lucky you have a Governor who cares about you. Try Geringer or Sullian. Neither one had any like for state employees. I do not know anyone in the private sector who does not have to pay into their retirement. Why should the good people of Wyoming have to foot the bill for every penny of a state employees retirement. The employees have to have some skin in the game. Give me a break. What has happened to our country. Everyone wants something for nothing. We are a socialist welfare society. We just don't want to admit it or can't see it. Get off your butt and get to work and take pride in your accomplishments. Dust yourself off when you hit a bump in the road and get back out there. COME ON PEOPLE!

In these hard times how are we going to start paying for our retirement after budgeting that money toward other bills. The legislature has let us down again. Each time a new Gov. is sworn in he changes our pay scale which means we have to start all over again trying to work our way up the pay scale. After all these years now he wants us to pay more money out of our small paycheck to help pay for the shortsightedness of our legislature. When does it stop?! What a bunch of clowns.
