Sounds as ridiculous as some city councils during Reconstruction. :)
Giving the next Birmingham City Council members a pay raise is not only what's best for the city, but will also offer fair compensation for a part-time job with full-time responsibilities, Council President Johnathan Austin said Tuesday.
At last week's meeting, council members passed an ordinance to raise the annual salary from $15,000 to $50,000, effective in 2017. The increase, combined with slightly less than $10,000 allotted for expenses per council member, means the job will pay nearly $60,000.
The median household income for Birmingham is $31,467, according to U.S. Census figures.

What majority Democrat, majority black bunch of political parasites determined ED so suck more money out of the beleaguered taxpayers? I'm shocked I tell you shocked!
ReplyDeleteShocked we are every day. :)
DeleteIt is Reconstruction 2.0 or 3.0 as in we've seen this before and when reading history on the goings-on after the WBTS it seems they read it too!
ReplyDeleteReally.
DeleteThat white guy in the back looks pissed. He's probably realizing he's gotta pay for the raises.
ReplyDeleteHa! :)
DeleteThose who mean to be our masters think they're underpaid. With any luck, they'll be justly rewarded for all their efforts. After all, compensation should match performance, right?
ReplyDeleteAfter all, compensation should match performance, right?
DeleteAbsolutely. :)
The entire Obama era reads like a Thomas Dixon novel.

You are insulting Mr. Dixon. :)
DeleteNot really, the Obamas seem to be taken from a Thomas Dixon novel.

DeleteDidn't that County just file bankruptcy?
ReplyDeleteGood memory. I checked and it was a few years ago.
DeleteThey had to dispose of all that silly debt so they could afford the raises. Just a simple business decision, that's all.
DeleteHey, I'll volunteer for the part time job that pays 60K and all you can steal probably. :)
