A pay raise is what they all have coming but what Senator Corn and the Governor need to look at is Parity in the pay grades amongst the state agencies. For instance, How many agencies fall under the umbrella of "public safety"? And how many different pay grades are used depending on the agency that the employee works for. Its time that all of those employees and all of those officers whereever they work to share in the same pay grades that are given to those that work for the Department of Public Safety. There are those state employees that have more responsibility to the citizens of this state and are paid less simply because of how the agency is looked upon.
