This is red meat for the rubes....who will cry like babies when the troopers don't show up, you wait 4 hours at the DMV, the roads aren't plowed and... The PFD checks don't get mailed....because the state can't get anyone to work for it....

Mr Johnson is grandstanding. All those greedy overpaid and underworked state employees they are trying to demonize are your friends and neighbors....and don't compare the $40k per year admin clerk at fish and game to the $100k oil worker... There are trade offs in both public and private sector employment.....wages are generally lower in state service.

We have a high ratio of state workers to residents because we have a small population spread over a large area....
