    ok folks
    I'm a county employee. what you should take away from that memo is this.
    Our commissioners all of them, took a pay raise last year while laying off employee's and cutting the budget.
    They will tell you it was the state that set the rate due to population.
    the same was true in Lee county, but their commissioners were real, and refused to accept a pay raise while eliminating jobs and cutting pay.
    Your commissioners, cashed the check.
    EVERY ONE OF THEM
    NOT ONE said, hey, maybe we should consider the little guys working for us.

    Most of us make less than a commissioners part time pay.
    they get around 33,000.00 a year
    they meet twice a month
    get retirement
    sick time
    vacation time
    travel expenses

    most of them work "full time" jobs
    4 of them
    work for US SUGAR in one form or another

    consider this in November
    FIRE THEM ALL
    Just like they did Judy,Lester and the guy between Judy and Lester Wayne Oneal I may have his last name spelled wrong.
    End result
    Commissioner gets top money
    workers get screwed
    again
    no raises 6 years now
    cut benefits
    treated like slaves
    told if you don't like it, quit we don't care
