Avast ye scallywags! A scheme to fatten the pockets of them Kansas lawmakers be sailin' the high seas! No vote needed, just a sneaky little commission! Arrr, now these mateys be earnin' more doubloons than even them bigger states, like Texas and Georgia! Savvy?
Arrr, me hearties! Gather 'round and hear this tale of the landlubbers who call themselves lawmakers in the wild land of Kansas. It be a tale of greed and plunder, for these scallywags have managed to increase their booty without even a vote!Ye see, last year these scurvy dogs established a bipartisan pay commission. This commission, instead of relying on the will of the people, decided on their own that these lawmakers deserved a hefty raise. A raise of 93%! Aye, ye heard it right - 93%!
Now, ye might be wonderin' how this be possible without a vote. Well, these crafty politicians be sneaky, I tell ye. They slipped this proposal through without any opposition, makin' their compensation higher than even the likes of Texas and Georgia, places with more population than Kansas!
And what be the result of this affront to common sense, ye might ask? Well, these rank-and-file lawmakers, who were already haulin' in a base compensation of $30,000, be now lookin' at an increase of nearly $28,000! That be more gold than most of us can even dream of!
Ah, me hearties, it be a sad day when those who claim to serve the people be more interested in fillin' their own coffers. The people be strugglin', the economy be in shambles, and yet these scurvy dogs be countin' their gold. It be a reminder that even in the land of opportunity, there be those who take every chance to line their own pockets.
So, me fellow pirates, let this be a cautionary tale. Watch out for these politicos who promise to serve the people but only serve themselves. And if ye be a citizen of Kansas, ye might want to keep a close eye on your lawmakers and make sure they be usin' their time and your gold wisely. Arrr!
