California Special Election & Propositions - May 19, 2009

For the record, the state legislature can't vote themselves pay raises. Salaries for elected state officials and certain other offices are set by an independent commission, the California Citizens Compensation Commission.

Mostly the commission works to keep salaries adjusted for inflation and cost of living. 1F bars that commission from making upward adjustments in years with a projected deficit.

I think it is a mostly pointless Prop but I held my nose on that one as well.
