The Governor and his people are obviously not bright.
"Like many other state employees, prison nurse Nellie Larot was hit last year with furloughs that cut her salary: It dropped $10,000, to $92,000.
But she more than made up for it by working extra shifts, raking in $177,512 in overtime, according to state records. Her total $270,000 in earnings last year eclipsed the $225,000 paid to Matthew Cate, head of the entire state prison system.
Despite Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's decision to furlough workers three days a month to save money, many employees are taking home paychecks fattened by overtime -- more than $1 billion of it last year.
$36 billion in deficits, this year alone. Over $600 billion in debt. Illegal spending cuts over turned by the courts. Now this.
He really believed he was saving money.
Can we continue to trust him with our money?
