Do you ever get a raise at your job?

People deserve cost-of-living increases, at the very least. Even government employees.

I see no problem with 3% increases.

At privately held companies there are not always raises. If the company is not doing well, there is no raise, not even a cost of living raise.

But, if you take into account that lancaster broght in more tax money this year, that must mean that as a company, they're doing well and that deems a raise.

Can't Giza, Reese, Coleman, Live on $ 100,000 + salary

[ERIEMAN]

most people could "live on" a $40,000 salary.

why are so many people against those that make six figure incomes?

[yaksplat]

I look forward to making 100k. Then my 3% COL raises will be 3 grand + every year.

I don't think any of them make $100,000.

Supervisor's pay is in the $70k range, I believe.

You do when you do a good job. You don't when you don't do a good job. Currently looking at how the area looks if I was boss there wouldn't be raises going out to any elected officials.

How did you find out about the raises for elected officials? Are they in the proposed budget?
