Re: “U.S. government mulls a raise for federal workers in SLO County”

Thank you for helping publicize our plight. We federal workers are the middle class. We are well-qualified and vetted. We work hard to serve citizens, and we pay taxes too. To the commenter above, if you actually read the article you may understand we federal workers struggle to be able to afford to live here because of the unfair locality pay we receive. In SLO we make the same as someone in the Midwest or the South where the cost of living is much less. This creates constant turn-over and lack of staffing. As a result access to the services you expect and deserve suffer as a result. Its a no-win for everyone.
