The Alden Town board is planning on giving themselves a 13% raise for 2012. They believe they are entitled to it do to the vote to down size the board from 5 to 3. They are going to pay for it by cutting the building inspectors secretary from full time to part time. They are also forcing town judges to reduce their pay to keep the full time court clerk from going part time. And also forcing the Full time court clerk to give up her health insurance. This is Just plain Wrong, Shame on them. The Budget meeting is scheduled for Nov 7th at 7pm at the Alden Town Hall. All Alden residents are urged to attend.

There salary currently is 11031.00 And neither recieve health insurance at this time.
It's one thing to make job cuts, benefit cuts and changing jobs from full time to part time to save taxpayers money. But to make these cuts to give themselves a raise is ludicrous.

So the Council members are getting a whopping $1,500 raise each...BIG WHOOP!. Along with the raise, they voted to stop the town provided health insurance for elected officials and, neither of them take NYS retirement. On top of all this, the budget still contains a tax decrease.
I invite all Alden residents to attend the public hearing on Nov.7th to hear about a budget that increases funding for the Ewell Free Library, funds improvements to the Alden Town Park including the Joe Panza nature trail and increases funding for disaster preparedness. It does all this while DECREASING the tax rate. Get all the budget information, not just the slanted view of 1 individual.

No it wasn't incorrect, Ron Smith are Super current bent is to now reduce the Part time court clerks pay by 3000 dollars. Funny thing is everybody else is getting raises, the board, town clerk etc. Plus the fact he is forcing the judges to take a pay cut to keep the full time court clerk from going part time and making her give up her health insurance.

So $11031.00 for 48 meetings? or $11031.00 / 48 = $229.81 a meeting?
How long on average are the meetings?
