Ex-Mayor Wants to Rob the Public!!!

To borrow from Doug Clark from today's Spokesman Review, "I’m hotter than a car hood baking under a July sun" over ex-mayor Queen Mary requesting back pay from us village people.

 

Since when does someone get a hefty pension after working merely four years.  And since when can she not save a portion of her $100,000 a year salary for the future!  It just plain irks me.  And our lovely City Council will probably act like a bunch of dumb sheep, jumping off a cliff one after the other, and fulfill her request.

Queen Mary offered to set a precedent by keeping her salary at a "modest" $100,000 a year.  Now she changes her mind just because she was snubbed at the election.  Give me a break.

I have been unemployed for the last two years, living on a meager $14,000 a year on disability.  My family is dependent on this income.  

Hey, Mary!  I have no sympathy for you.  We are in a depression here.  Go get a job at Walmart.  Quit robbing me!

IMHO - Jeanie
