Question: Did Commish Deserve Another Raise?

Item: Commissioners vote to raise salaries: Piazza against increase that applies to nine elected county officials /Erica Curless, Spokesman-Review

More Info: Piazza maintains that the previous County Commission county commissioners, including Currie, erred and bred mistrust with residents in 2005 when it voted to give itself a $13,486 annual raise, bringing the salary to $67,000. Piazza said the commissioners and other elected officials needed a salary boost for the full-time jobs but that it should have occurred in increments, not a lump sum in the year before a county election.

Question: Are you bothered that the commissioners voted themselves another raise, only two years after increasing their salaries $13,486 per year?
