Just so everyone is clear, the guy who has 900 lives in Politics and does nothing, Dan Saltzman (who has lived a charmed life) will accept his raise along with Randy Leonard. Another disappointment NICK SELL OUT FISH was quoted as saying "People should not lose ground because of inflation"
WHAT PLANET ARE THESE DOPES LIVING ON?????????? NOT THIS ONE!
This stupid move during these challenging times when over 12% of Stumptown is starving for a job and dignity...these BUMS give raises that will cost 3.7 MILLION dollars. More proof that SPINELESS Dan Saltzman and the rest of these clowns have NO CLUE what the street is like right now.
Worse, THERE IS NO INFLATION. WE HAVE BEEN IN DEFLATION! Have they noticed the cost of gas, food, rent, interest at banks, home prices, car prices???? We give city employees a increase to cope with the eroding dollar. What dumb shits. And if they had done something that merits a raise like save money or taxes or expenses then maybe but this is a sad disconnect. SOS. Same old shit.

This pisses me off. They are so dis-connected. Thank's Stump-blog man for putting their weak feet to the fire. Glad I live in Washington County.

Big deal 2%

2% is still an increase. The smart, well-run orghanizations have execs accepting salary reductions, as they know that is how you do business.
