Re: Show of participation needed at next Council meeting


The city got into this shape by trusting council members and their Mayor with nobody looking on.

If you do not take part in your governments activities, then you deserve exactly what you get.

Pay peanuts for employees salary....you get monkeys working for you.------Its all about the Bens. (whom would work much knowing your pay is 50 a month? Do not give me that do goody good B.S. One must eat as well. You either pay an employee or he will steal it and ...... WHOM COULD BLAME HIM?

THE THEATER WILL OPEN SOON AND THEN.....MY TURN.

Lee, you always say pay them more, but how much more and where does the money come from? Higher Taxes?? I don't think so, I'll fight til the end to keep that from happening.

Re: Show of participation needed at next Council meeting


I don't feel a modest raise in council persons salaries would require a raise in taxes. There can be many reasons a person would seek to serve on council. Some people just want to help the city and some people crave the power (?) of being a council person. Some people like the spotlight. I do feel a raise in salaries might tempt other people to be more interested in the position.

Re: Show of participation needed at next Council meeting


Right now I would not give a pay raise to the present council members (minus maybe two, definitely one). There are two on council right now who are on a "power" trip and one who just seems to occupy a seat and nod or comment once in a blue moon.

The two who are on the power trip are convincing the blue moon to vote they way they do.

One on council is too new to make any comments at this time (even though they were appointed inappropriately IMO).

Yes, a pay raise might be nice, but I have to agree with 6th Ward. Where would the money come from? More taxes? I don't think so.

Those who are run for council know the pay before they run. If they have a problem with the pay, then they shouldn't be running for the office.

As for Lee's comment, "THE THEATER WILL OPEN SOON AND THEN.....MY TURN." ------- exactly what do you mean by that Mr. Scott? Please let us know.

Re: Show of participation needed at next Council meeting


First let me say taht I agree with the different folks whom stated most of these council persons are allready highly overpaid at 50 per month.... They are not worth fifty cents . However, you will continue to attract the exact same thing if we continue this rate of pay.

How can you not approve a raise??? Look at what we have working for us (them) right now! An increase in pay for the incomming council would attract a more skilled person.....you get what you pay for.

Where is it to come from???? That should be a breeze! Use just a fraction of what you save from the ignorant waste and you could pay them really big monies! You have a multi million dollar business (city) and a bunch of $50 salaried people to run it. Name one large corporation that is private that is so stupid to try and pull that malarky! Would you hire somebody uneducated and unexperienced to run your business?

ONCE AGAIN-----IT IS ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS...
(SOGP HAS JUST WHAT THEY WANT-HIRE CLAY FOR $50 A MONTH???????YEAH, RIGHT!)

Re: Show of participation needed at next Council meeting


When I am finished with the Columbia------EVERY cent I make with it and all else I can afford will go into doing what needs done in this city. For your info......I just finished paying for the balance of the Bauer recall last week (worth every cent). These things done properly are not cheap folks. All help will be appreciated but I will not waste my time or money on menial things.

I want the whole enchilada! City Charter gone - Two year terms - Paid council - SOGPs authority stripped - City Manager (with proper council). These things I will put my all into because it and only it will get this city on the right track.

Going away this week......will post upon return. I love going to and enjoying successfull places, don't you? To bad Portsmouth is not like that again.......YET!
