Cut Spending

Two of the most overpaid public servants the county has, Guy Maxcy and Carl Cool, have come out against Amendment One. Why? Because they will have a little less money to throw toward contractors and Realtors who are bound and determined to over-build the county at the expense of its citizens.

They won't be able to throw our tax money around like the federal government does. Have they ever thought about cutting back on their spendthrift ways? No. They come up with ways to spend more of your tax money that will affect you for years to come. Example: These commissioners now plan to hire four new top level administrative positions. The pay scales for these new positions range from a low of $65,915 to a top end of $129,272. The positions appear to be assistants.

Who is doing these jobs now and why do we have to pay up to $466,522 for assistants to do these jobs? I say, let's cut some of these overpaid administrators' pay and especially cut the pay of these part-time commissioners who have full-time outside jobs.
