I agree with the Mayor regarding the School Department and I don't think 1000 bonus for City employees is unreasonable. City employees have not received an increase in 3 years and a one time bonus is makes sense financially, rather than a percentage increase. Everyone will be receiving the same amount from the least paid to the highest paid. It isn't going to pan out as very much money to the employees after they are hit with "bonus" tax. SteveD. is probably accurate in saying it will end up being 600.00. The rest of it sounds responsible, but I don't know enough about it to say it is responsible....And I assume that the City Council doesn't either. Throwing 400k to the school department with no accountability is financially irresponsible and I think it is a political move on Council's part, to shut up voters who support the school department. "here now, shut up and go away!"
