We saw the tone deafness of the city council on full display Tuesday night, but proposing a ballot question that gives themselves raises in this economy and their piss poor performance is the epitome of TONE DEAF. Hey, it may not pass the muster of the Charter Revision Commission. They have two proposals on the table;
A one time bump or course correction and changing the percentage of mayoral pay that is afforded to the city council. Currently the council gets 15% of mayor’s salary, they want to bump it to 25%. I actually think it should be 10% and we should have at least 4-5 more councilors instead of paying more for less representation, it’s idiotic. But they are so tone deaf the CRC will pass this, the Council will review the ballot question and approve it for the June election. This will fail soooooo hard it is not even funny. They already tried this 2 years ago and we voted it down. They don’t get it. Seriously!!!
