COEUR d’ALENE — Lake City Development Corp. agreed to increase compensation for its executive director by 3 percent on Wednesday.

 

The urban renewal board agreed to allow Tony Berns, director since 2001, to decide whether that increase will go toward his salary, the 401k payment program, or divided between the two. Full story. Tom Hasslinger, Cda Press

 

In the comments section, Mary Souza sez: "Tony gets a raise after bungling the 4th street renovation by not following through and checking the colored cement before the contractor’s warranty expired? Now the taxpayers are on the hook for repairs to the peeling paint, which was a terrible choice in the first place as everyone knows the color should be mixed into the cement, not applied to the top.

Just that one little fiasco will cost the public many thousands of dollars extra. All signs indicate that Tony did not manage the project well and should NOT get a raise!"

 

What do you think?
