- Either raise taxes, or
- Cut Fire, Police, and DPW,
City
Hall is the central nerve center of our city: Said The King at a recent council
meeting, and I agree.
- I’ve been saying “City Hall has some nerve” for a long time now, so the King’s comment should come as no surprise.
What
might surprise you, is the truth about the base salaries for city employees. In
a Times Leader article published back in October: our King attempted to deceive
us by claiming he and his band of court jester’s were among average earners in
the city, by releasing salaries that included:
- Overtime created by the King’s inability to properly staff essential departments
- And monies awarded to union members who sought legal action against The City, for the King’s unfair business practices.
Please
