Jett Wants To Pay More Govt. Employees For Not Working

  When a lawmaker spends 'our money', he's often more liberal than when he spends 'his' money.

  Senator Shane Jett is starting his first term in the Oklahoma Senate. About a decade ago he was a member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives. And boy, does he have lots of legislation pent up! 35 bills are now filed under his name. Many of them are solid concepts and worth consideration. But some are way below any reasonable measure for a legislative branch to even entertain in committee.
  SB701 will further drain school budgets because laid off employees will get full pay even when they are working at another place of employment.  So all those bus drivers who are now either collecting state & federal unemployment checks, will instead be drawing full pay from the local school district.
  Worse yet,  bus drivers who now work for a different employer or temp agency, will get full pay at both jobs!
  Only in govt. jobs can you get these kind of wasteful deals! Why, because that's how the wrong politicians get reelected! By giving away taxpayer funds to govt. workers!
  The text is posted below. Keep in mind that this is an amendatory measure, so only the stricken and underlined text is being offered by Jett.
