ABSOLUTELY! Bush made Davis bribe the prison guards, his biggest (or 2nd biggest) contributors! In an often cited incident, last year Davis approved a measure that gave huge pay increases to members of the state prison guard union (some pay increases were as high as forty percent according to some reports). The measure also reduced the retirement age of union members to 50 with pensions of 90 percent of maximum annual income. With some prison guards currently earning more than $100,000 annually, the measure stood to cost the state millions of dollars. thomastontimes.com An interesting exchange: Message 19386626 Message 19382132 Message 19381172 Message 19380972 Message 19380945 Message 19380068 Message 19379787
