Bleeding the City Dry?



Now that we've heard all the self-righteous statements from the (newly-concerned) friends of the current administration, let's take a look at the facts.

The City Clerk is now going to get $885 more per year, until July 1, 2010. Thereafter, she'll get another $1,400 until July 1, 2011, and an additional $1,400 after that.

This means that for the next 6 months, Debbie Collins will "gouge" the taxpayers the obscene amount of $17.00 per week. The state will probably take an additional $35 out of her paycheck for taxes.

So, to all you "outraged taxpayers": try to look on the bright side: this isn't really a raise for the City Clerk; it's a raise for the state.

(Oh, by the way, Bob Barron got the same amount as Collins in his raise...if you start on Monday and end on Wednesday. Where were all these "outraged taxpayers" when that went down?)
