Republican state senator calls for minimum wage cut during pandemic

4. Is the state downsizing to meet the private sector?

So far I'm not seeing cuts in the cost of doing very much. The only rebates are for car insurance, and those are voluntary and driven by a competitive industry where consumers frequently change carriers for lower rates. If they didn't issue rebates, they'd lose customers.

Will the senator take a pay cut and lay off staff? Or are they all on the taxpayer dime as always. Has she cancelled limousines and state vehicle support? I don't know what they do in Maine, but in my state legislators are overpaid, overstaffed, overpopulated, and given lots of freebies that they vote themselves. Few ever make an issue of it, and voters are unaware. They just vote Republican and say how great their reps are.
