They start at around $21 an hour. They work in the some of the worst weather in the lower 48 and often times are responsible for an entire county on their own. On-call in the late evening and early morning, with back up often 30-40 minutes away. Today the governor signed the legislatures budget which again cuts their health insurance benefits for the second time in a year. No pay increase or COLA either.

Yet our elected officials seem dumbfounded as to why the state is short almost 30 Trooper positions and enjoy one of the highest rates of traffic fatalities per capita in the nation.

For maintenance folks they are required a CDL to drive the snow plows. They start at $15 an hour. They can almost immediately go to the oilfield and make 200% more.
