State scientists are tasked with many important duties and roles to help protect State resources and should be compensated as such. As a young professional, I want to work for the State because I believe that it is here where I can make the greatest impact for the greater good. Nevertheless, I live in an area that has a very high cost of living. It would be fantastic if I did not have to choose between my dream job and a job that would enable me to live in the area.

Most of my collegues in the private sector earn significantly more money. We are already having great difficulty hiring qualified scientists. If the pay for state scientists is not increased how will the State of California attract new scientists in the future? When there is a public health crisis such as the recent toxic river spill that polluted the drinking water of thousands of people who will respond to protect the health of Californians if we have a critical shortage of state scientists?

I have never met more dedicated people; they work hard on difficult issues and never shy away from increasing and daunting workloads. At the same time, they live modest, even meager lives due to their pay rates, which are absolutely far lower than their colleagues' pay rates in the private sector or even local government. I have witnessed many talented young people come up through state positions and leave for more lucrative employers. It's a real issue!

Enough is enough! State scientists are some of the most valued and dedicated civil servants we have, daily protecting the air, food, water, etc. They are also the best educated group too (many have graduate degrees). It is only fair to pay them a good salary. Stop the brain drain!
