Voter voices: Will Durghalli in Santa Monica
Santa Monica resident Will Durghalli said the special election featured a confusing array of ballot measures. But he was clear about one thing: State politicians don’t deserve pay raises with California suffering from a fiscal crisis.
So he said he voted in favor of Proposition 1F, which would bar pay hikes to state elected officials during periods when California is running a deficit.
“I don’t want them getting paid when we’re in a budget deficit,” said Durghalli, 31, who had just cast his ballot at the city's Virginia Park. “None of them deserve it, anyway.”
