Supes ready to reverse pay hike?
The board of supervisors quietly added an item to the Tuesday agenda. It doesn't make it clear exactly what they'll talk about but it's actually going to be a discussion of their pay raise. Now that thousands of citizens have signed petitions demanding they reverse their pay raise, they plan to do just that on Tuesday - at least John Pinches, the third vote for the pay raise has decided they need to reverse. The ordinance granting them a pay raise also tied their pay to the Superior Court judges who get nice automatic pay raises each year. Assuming Jim Wattenburger and Mike Delbar maintain their votes against the raise, it should be reversed. However, watch for the supes to immediately turn around and order up a new ordinance letting them keep the extra $20,000.
