Lets not forget that the Council pay was dramatically increased to make it a full time rather than part time job. Yet we still have people with full time jobs in office. Mission accomplished?

I mentioned in it in another post here, but remember when Jake Hudnut ran for city council a couple of years ago, while he's employed as the municipal prosecutor? He would've collected 2 full-time salaries from the city, and the mayor supported him.

I also remember (it wasn't that long ago) when the city council pay was around $35k a year, but now it's more like $65k... I can't remember, they keep voting themselves raises.

Agreed. Having a full time job and city council feels more like double dipping than a $8k thing on the side for the county.

Grifters always are one step ahead.
