| Message | Local governments deserve to dictate if there is a salary cap. Although we agree with a living wage, we cannot support centralized salary caps. We recommend you keep bills in debate for a longer period to make adjustments. We would vote yes if article 1 was removed. |

| Message | We aren't proposing to take such a power away from local governments, in fact, they will be empowered to enforce even greater levels of equality under our proposal. |
