Still, I couldn't care less whether she "deserves" it or not. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I'm not a huge fan of stuff like this, but I pay for it in my own taxes, so I'm sure as hell not going to say no if it's to my financial advantage.

Why wouldn't you be a fan of it? It's simple supply and demand. There is more demand for certain positions than there is supply, so the price has to go up. Because of unions, the salaries can't go up directly, so they have to go about it a different way.
Working for 5 years in order to get $17,500 in extra compensation isn't like taking welfare. There's a reason that they can't fill these positions.
