Is the mayor going to give up his raise?
At the end of a typically dull City Council agenda for Tuesday's meeting is this interesting little item:
16. To renew, reaffirm, clarify or take any other action regarding the motion from the September 13, 2011 City Council meeting approving a 1.8% salary increase effective November 14, 2011 and 1.8% increase effective November 7, 2012 for various elected officials.
It will certainly be interesting to see what that's all about.

This proposed 3.6% raise for the mayor and "various elected officials" needs to be stopped. It's another example of the politicians taking care of themselves at the expense of the taxpayer. It's unconscionable that at the same time this state is loosing private sector jobs, the government jobs keep increasing as does their salaries (the so called "concessions" by the unions were nothing but reductions in their INCREASES). This is what creeping socialism looks like. If you're interested in what the end game looks like, try Greece.
