[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not hard. 
CUT JOB
CUT BENEFITS 
FREEZE SALARIES
INCREASE CONTRIBUTIONS TO HEALTHCARE

Eveyone else has to do it, so should county employees. Maybe the goddamn county should tighten its belt before robbing you out of more of evryone's salary? It is completely tone deaf county employees whine about staffing and salaries when so many people are losing jobs in both the federal govt and private sector.  How about no more?  They'll just have to learn survive with less, like everyone else. [/quote]

It doesn’t even have to be that drastic. Cut the raises to 2 percent (still double what feds got) and they save $45 million. But they seem incapable of cutting anything. Even the self styled budget hawk Andrew Friedson has proposed adding more spending than he’s proposed cutting. Yesterday he was asking for more money for the kid museum. It’s totally hopeless. The developers used to put pressure on the council to keep spending in check but now the council just gives the commercial property owners special deals so they don’t have to pay for this. [/quote]
