Employee costs

By Brian W. Jones

Candidate for Member of the State Assembly; District 71

This information is provided by the candidate
There is a lot of talk right now about the cost of employees to the state. The first solution is to reduce the number of employees. The State is way over burdened with regulatory agencies, commissions, policy groups, etc. In addition, we have far too many environmental agencies that do nothing other than impede progress and drive up the cost of construction. We need to reduce this burden on the California economy. Retirement benefits to State employees far exceed anything offered in the public sector and must be reduced. In Santee, we have required that every employee pay a portion of their retirement costs, including the Mayor and Councilmembers. The most important thing for the next session of the legislature and the next governor to focus on is getting California out of this recession. It is the number one responsibility of state government to create an economic climate that allows us as individual citizens to enjoy our freedoms without the burden of over taxation and over regulation.
