McDonough may cut salaries
This would be a very smart move:
On Thursday, the City Council spent more than an hour in a closed-door executive session, a portion of which generated questions on the study for ARC staffers. The questions were not shared during the open portion of the meeting and the ARC staff left before the Council returned.Sadly James Lee's salary issues are the tip of the iceberg. I have little faith in the leadership here in McDonough to actually get this done. They haven't done much as far as acting in the best interests of the citizens they are supposed to represent.The Council is expected to take it up again Monday.
In August, the ARC presented McDonough with recommendations that included cutting the $145,157 salary of the City Administrator James Lee, and the salaries of the city’s staff attorney, code enforcement officer and media relations specialist.
While we're at it, another smart move would be not to put a $40 million park in the backyard of a sitting city council member. Another smart move would be for the voters of this city to not re-elect these hacks when their terms expire.
