I suppose I can't complain, given how great my benefits are, but 2.5% every year would be just great. Wow, must be nice to get a set 2.5% every year.

I am indirectly effected by a vote like this.... currently I recieve about a 2.5 % raise a year regardless of performance, work load, or increased skill development. I knew going into this field that I would not be a millionaire :) But I take personal offense with those who aren't even doing the work (ie: administrators, legislators etc.) valuing themselves and thier families more than the work we do. We had a 62% turnover rate last year. Salary and benefits can't be blamed for all of it, but I would say it is a big factor. I thought that was interesting as well.
