If lawmakers approve additional money, Governor Ted "tax and gouge me" Kulongoski along with five other elected officials statewide could be in line for their first increase in more than seven years as a result of a new citizen review process.
Currently, Kulongoski receives $93,600 a year which ranks 45th in the nation. The pay increase would raise the governor's salary up to $130,000 dollars per year.
"We are still going to get beat up on this one way or another," said Senate Republican Leader Ted Ferrioli of John Day, who spoke to the commission last week. "We have gotten beat up recently on other matters."In a 2006 survey that the Council Of State Governments releasing 2007, only five other states payee governors less than Oregon. Those states include Arkansas, Tennessee, Colorado and North Dakota. California pays the most at $206,500 which Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger refuses to accept.
Well the governor should get a rise… He has done so much for the state that he should receive more money… And of course our state is thriving economically…
Oh wait… I'm sorry, I was thinking of someone else.
What has Kulongoski done for us?
… Give me a minute…
… I'm still thinking…
…Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Teddy the Useless ought to be happy that he is not being paid what he is worth as a governor. He is the Oregon poster boy for the Peter Principle.
