Perhaps the Mayor needs to be asked why she gave the Police Chief an increase of $175,000 thereby bringing his income to $375,000; the $100,000 dollar increase to the Water Department Director, and so on....   Instead of overpaying those in positions, who for the most part are figure heads, and the peons doing the actual work and/or those risking their lives receive maybe on a good year  receive a mere 5% increase on the basis of an already mediocre income .

I would find it further interesting to know what are the perks and salaries of the Mayor and Council.

Why not perform OPEN RECORDS ACT on the top positions including the Mayor and Council!!!  This may prove to be quite interesting!!!

I find it more than simply atrocious that a yearly budget is approved and no one seems to know or understand it's contents and it's limits before spending.  I believe it is now time for all Cities, Counties, and all State and Federal Agencies make public (printing in the newspaper for example) the budget.  AND, ACCOUNTABILITY FOR SAME.  AFTER ALL YOU ARE UTILIZING TAXPAYERS MONIES SO YOU ARE, WHETHER YOU LIKE TO ASSUME THE ROLE OR NOT, ACCOUNTABLE TO US.
