I think they will still vote based on their opinions and not ours, but at least we would put in the effort.ChopperDoc wrote:Rem700 wrote:In the article it gives the date and time of the meeting to get the public's opinion on the possible tax hike......maybe we should attend.

So many people would rather shake their fist from afar then drive 1/2 hour to have their voices heard.
If there was a line of at least 50 people waiting to tell them to "Go **** Themselves with a rusty pitchfork" , then they may think otherwise.
I would still go and ask them to justify the above pay list.Toddstang wrote:Good. I was writing up a list of things to say at the meeting. Everything from the amount of $ spent on fuel and maintenance per day to how much more $ is spent on Spanish speaking only students vs. English students.
Base it on something that can be tracked so she has accountability. (balanced budget, fiscal responsibility, academic scores) Has to be something tangible. I know i gripe a lot about this stuff but until we hold people accountable we are screwed and IMO we start at the top. As long as we have teachers paying for school supplies out of pocket while JCPS consistently wastes money on everything from busing to inflated salaries and over staffing of non teaching positions, people who pay for it (tax payers) will be bitching.SeymourSkinner wrote:What would you pay her to oversee a 110000 plus employee organization where every asshole who has ever paid a tax is a critic?Rem700 wrote:Yea just cause she recommends that they don't....doesn't mean that they wont. Could be her trying to play the "im on the citizens side" card while she collects her meager $276k salary from our pockets.
Tell me what a fair wage for that is.
Just an arbitrary number that sounded good.SeymourSkinner wrote:Rem700 wrote:Base it on something that can be tracked so she has accountability.

Just as a side note IMO no person being paid via tax dollars should be allowed to make more than 3x the median income considering most of that tax money is from people making close to the median income (aka the middle class). Take away the incentive to be a gov employee and the private sector will boom IMO.
Why 3x? Why not 2x. Or 4x?
