State Managers and Supervisors haven’t had a salary raise in 6 years ... and now DPA has once again reneged on the promise of a 5% raise for members of the "State’s Management Team".

Making his annual appearance in front of the Sacramento Press Club yesterday, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger pushed for massive infrastructure reforms while emphasizing that he is continuing his fight for some of the reforms he proposed last year, including revamping the state's pension system.
