Budget talks inaudible in West Jordan
4 comments | Read story
The concensus of those attending the meeting is that city employees were alerted, erroneously, that proposals were going to be made by the citizens' committee to cut staff and/or salaries and pressure was brought to bear on the council to vote for the COLA and step increases. Certain council members indicated they had made promises to the staff and needed to keep their word. The need to represent and protect the needs of their constituents took a back seat to staff wants. Thus, the idea of raising taxes which seems to always be the government's solution.
The entitlement mentality that government must do everything for you -- including make sure you hear every word with crystal clarity -- is getting a bit ridiculous!
