SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Furloughed state workers will finally get their full paychecks in four years, but the cuts have taken their toll on families.

The new three-year contract for state employees was signed last month. It gives a three-percent raise this year, and then two percent for the next two years. It also says no furloughs.

Theresa Taylor works for the Franchise Tax Board and say her pay was cut from $250 to almost $1,000 at different times. She says years of furloughs forced her to drain her 401(k).

“We went to basic cable, we got rid of our security system.”

furloughs? bah!!

i say lay'em off and contract the work to the private sector, where efficiency counts at lower wage prices.

also, only private sector workers should be buying homes. you SEIU scum public union employees need to be living in the gutter, eating dog food.
laid off all the public workers,
