Reader: Scott Gessler was honest about his inability to live on $68,000 Sec. of State salary

• <i>I'd rather Gessler work full time for us but he doesn't deserve these snide comments.</i> Deciding that a job does not pay enough after you are elected is very poor form. When someone voluntarily enter the public sphere and complains that a job which pays a pretty good salary is not adequate, then I believe that person isn't right for that job. He should step down and someone else should be selected who won't whine and do the job. Personally, I would take the job today and not complain one bit about the salary. What happened to 'public service' and the duty and honor of doing something for the people even if the pay isn't as much as one would like. He needs to grow up suck it up and deal with it just like every one else in this economy.
