Hello Ken Larsen,

  I was most pleased with your prompt reply, and thank you for your honesty. I have but one question for you personally.  "As a Governor, who is responsible for your wages, should that be the burden of the taxpayer?"

  I just sort of think that if the taxpayers would not be eligible for some of the government monies, then why would you be more so entitled to this money?

  Interesting thought, HUH!!

There are many legitimate functions of government.  Those who provide them should be fairly compensated.  It is appropriate for elected officials to receive fair pay for their time.  The Governor's salary is not excessive and I promise to be worth it.
