Not a big believer in telling the TRUTH or CHECKING FACTS, are you?
City managers got 2 %, except for 4 of them, who got bumped up 13% to make it comparable to other cities. They didn't get 2% on top of that. Do you even pay attention?
You make it sound like they all got huge raises, which is a lie. I thought you were all about providing accurate info?
Anonymous - Thanks for your comment
You're right - only a few are getting a huge bump in salary however I would leave you with a quote from Councillor Tom Barr when he said earlier this year:
"senior staff shouldn’t be shielded from the tough economic realities citizens in this area are facing"
If *all* City of WL Senior Staff got a 1.5% wage increase in 2011 - I and suspect most in Williams Lake wouldn't disagree with such an action
