'7 Processing Clerks' up for 50% Salary increase tonight

Well, must be nice when you can vote yourself a raise and not have to wait until after the next election for it to take effect.

Be that as it may - the 7 Processing Clerks, aka Edison Council, has it on the agenda for tonight's meeting. Seems they want to raise the Council President up to $19,500.00 and Council Members to $18,000.00.

Why they think they deserve a raise is beyond me - but it's not a surprise since they're use to raising things around here in the 'DemBadLands' of Downtown Edison. They went Step-in-Step with Mayor Tom 'Now 21.95% but Won't Debate' ChoiLankey's tax increases since he assumed the Role of El Jefe!

Here, see for yourself that they Never met a Lankey Tax increase they didn't agree with under his stewardship:

But wait, it gets better over there at 100 Oligarchy Blvd.

Remember when they hid and ambushed you with those 3rd Qtr. Estimated tax bills saying there was only a 1.3% Muni tax hike, when in reality it was a 4.15% hike that secretly hit you in Your 4th Qtr tax bills -  without them telling you anything about it.

And finally, here's a Muni tax increase you never hope to see happen to you again:

Anyhoo, the Edison Council doesn't deserve a salary increase, they need something else much more important. Lankey should take that money and spend it on some classes for the '7 Processing Clerks' in the meaning and functioning of 'Checks & Balances' - but hey, it just goes to prove a point about our Strong Mayor, Weak Council form of government..that it's half-true, we have a Weak Council.
