[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don’t they use that money to increase salaries for police officers and teachers? Having safer communities and better schools helps everyone![/quote] They literally increase police and teacher salaries every year. Compensation is by far the largest part of the budget and has been increasing much faster than revenue, which is a problem.[/quote] Police salaries 2 years ago were the lowest in the region. The salary increases have merely taken MCPD to the middle of the pack. And they still can’t get people to want to work for MoCo, and so they still face major shortages [/quote] It's rough being a high COL area that has no economic growth. Still subject to inflation but the tax base is not growing. So yeah that means salaries can't go up as much as folks would like.[/quote]
