Well it seems, there are a few politicians that get it in this country. This is one of them.
The County Council in Hunnington, WV is in the process of trying to pass pay raises for some of the city employees, including the Mayor. The council wants to raise the Mayor's pay from $62,000 to around $98,000 per year. The reason they want to raise the pay is to attractive better candidates in the subsequent elections.
To most people, this would be great. Hey, your giving me a $26,000 pay increase. I know i would flip out if my employer did that to me.
But there is a problem, or at least some look at it as a problem. There is one person standing in the way of this pay raise coming true, the mayor himself. The mayor cites that this sends the wrong message to city employees, and that there are other more important things that the council could be tackling. He plans to veto it if it is passed.
Well atleast this politician is looking out for the taxpayers in his county.
Viva Liberty!
