Pay raises for city workers

Should city workers and officials be granted pay raises?

Comments

While us normal Joes struggling from paycheck to paycheck find this outrageous, I find the story a little irrelevant. Today, CNBC reported that first-year I-banking associates will expect to make $250k in bonuses alone. A managing director of equities or derivatives trading, not to mention mergers and & acquisitions, will make up to $5 million in bonuses alone.

These people do not run the second largest city in the United States. A little perspective would be appropriate.

It's amazing to see how easy it is for public officials to continue getting raises and your average American keeps working and working without the guarantee of raise hikes (certainly as frequently and unquestionably expected as city officials receive) with all the "extras" in addition. Who helps the average worker make up for the hikes in water, gasoline, rents, fares and the list goes on and on.
Who is serving whom? I say No, No, No to these raise hikes. They can't even run our City with any accountability or actual service. So many seem to be receiving as much, if not more, when they retire than when on the job. Who dreamt up this fantasy anyway? We live in the real world - join us!

It is an embarassment to the nation that we are the second largest city in the U.S. and these public officals get paid more than New York. We have a mayor who is ready for a photo op and a sound bite. He did decline the raise so at least there is a some humility. How about our City Attorney? He will gladly take the pay raise, it's what the voters wanted he says. Maybe we can pay for more of his dry cleaning and baby sitting. If his wife gets into another accident, us taxpayers will be glad to pay for his repair. What a jerk! Get outta office, you have no inegrity!
LA officials need to clean house not focus on raises. Get rid of the illegal phone tax too. Mr. Villar wants us to keep paying it. LA has some real characters with selfish agendas running the city. CLEAN UP YOUR ACT!!

Wow, the mayor declined his pay raise. I may be wrong but, by declicning the raise he can now deduct that amount from his income tax each year while in office. And for the city attorney,Jerry Brown should file a felony charge for fraud of public funds against Mr and Mrs city attorney for their roll in hiding the truth in not paying for the city issued SUV ( why an SUV?) damage until it came out in the news. Oh, I forgot, Jerry Brown and the LA city atorney are of the same political party. What was I thinking. City of the Angeles, good luck on your next election.

NO, CITY WORKERS AND OFFICIALS SHOULD NOT GET A RAISES.

As one who has been a Manager of Depts within two Local government agencies, of course top LA (or any other location) Administators are not worth these high salaries. These are not private industry capable people with more complex mix of issues that these people are faced.

However, Local government personnel with Licenses such as Doctors, Nurses, etc. should have salaries near the meduim range of private sector.

i say yes yes yes the dam dwp got a big fat raise city attney democrat rocky got a big fat raise. but he is a dam democrat he needs one. he dont doing anything but sit on his ass like most democrats do.city workers should get the same raise as the dwp did.
