Who Decides ?

Postby GOLTZBORG » Sun Apr 17, 2011 12:09 pm

Who decides as to whether or not elected and appointed government officials receive increases in their salaries: they themselfs (the elected and appointed govt offs), or the people of your nation ??

Elected officials are volunteers, not employees. No pay.

Civil servants receive pay based on the job they're performing.

The people determine the pay of an politician. Generally it hovers around 2đş above minimum wage. However, in the case of some of the less normal councils pay can reach several times minimum wage, if much success is had.

Our legislature determines the salaries for elected and appointed officials, however any pay increases only go into effect after the next election of whomever it affects.

There is no state, and the government does not require officials (rule by ethics and sovereign man).

Capitalism is always the answer. Whenever there's a problem in capitalism, you just need some more capitalism. If the solution isn't capitalism, then it's not really a problem. If your capitalism gets damaged, you just need to throw some capitalism on it and get on with your life.

1. There are no "salaries" in Sebastianalandia - working or excepted citizens are granted weekly ration notes.

2. Officials, both appointed and elected, recieve not ration notes but set monthly rations.

3. These monthly rations are tailored to personal needs and somewhat to preference.

4. Communist Party policy dictates that all Party members are prohibited from recieving rations better than those of senior factory workers.

The National Accountability Office (NAO) is responsible for setting the salaries of all elected and appointed officials officials. The Premier, being a self-appointed continuous position, decides his own salary, but is audited by the NAO since the passing of General Law Number 134OA.

Both Senators and Councillors receive their salaries from their representative republics, however it is common political practice to pay your own way and refuse a salary otherwise one risks looking like a looter. Something that doesn't last long in the Council of Citizens.
