By now, everyone has heard that the Mayor is not requesting a raise in his salary in his 2009-2010 budget. But...
No one seems to be talking about who will be getting more of our tax dollars.
Here's a brief table showing the jumps in salaries for several non-unionized residents of City Hall:
Now, I'm not saying these individuals are dishonest; I'm not even implying these raises aren't well-earned. But at a time when most of us are taking pay cuts (100% pay cuts, in some cases), can the City really justify giving out these pay raises?
Can someone tell me how handing the Finance Director almost $25,000 in raises over two years can be justified? I know people in West Haven who'd just like to make $25,000!
This is the same "in the clouds" Wall Street mentality that got our country into this mess in the first place.
