Fairness? I don't care if it's just a few pennies in tax dollars, why should I subsidize a public employees raise when I don't get one and along with many others have less income? And what about the many seniors who are taxpayers that won't get a social security cost of living increase. It's unconscionable and grossly unfair that people on fixed incomes should be asked to pay " just a few more pennies" out of fairness. It's sure not fair to us.
