The governor will be taking a 10% pay cut and she asked her senior executive staff to take a 5% pay cut.

what a bitch - but she’s feelin’ the pressure and the VP spot is slipping ....
keep it up MI!
10%.
Trump donates all of his.
I will take 90 % of the enormous salary I take sticking it to the people
SHINY FACE NIT WIT needs to RESIGN!!!
Mighty white of her...
Half Whit needs to lay off all of the government employees since the rest of her state is being laid off.
Big mistake. You either don’t take a cut, or you take a lot more than that.
Well, she is the pride of Michigan.
10% is likely not even sacrificing her Botox budget.
What a martyr.
That’s what REALLY galls me. The damned government is the LEAST essential organization in the land and they are all open as “essential.” There is ZERO pain among government workers except for teachers who are figuring out distance learning.
And that is the reason why The Ohio State Buckeyes continue to beat the team up north. :)
Well, she is the pride of Michigan.
Poor thing. Her salary will now only be 99,370. What ever will she do to survive.
Virtue-signalling bitch.
You might want to re-run those numbers again
You need to redo the math, there. She will be making a lot more than $99K.
I’m in the 100% crowd.
I remember when the government in Michigan was normal.
How in the hell did this idiot get elected?
Oh boy, 10%, such a difference.
She’s saving the taxpayers, what, maybe 2 tenths of a cent per person?
Businesses suffering and this cow saying “Lookie me! Lookie me!”
