I hope that message translates into higher wages for other experienced county workers who are good at what they do and should be recognized. Don't begrudge the high salary. Use it as a basis to demand one for others.

She, not the solicitor, will write the ordinances. She is responsible for getting the information to the Council. She is responsible for doing the research work. Do you think the Councilmen do it. She is responsible for tracking the expenses of the Administration and keeping Council informed on a daily basis. She is the second ,most important person in the County. She will serve as the check on the administration. She is worth every damn penny she will be getting paid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-65550424975184328342015-03-07T21:04:18.833-05:002015-03-07T21:04:18.833-05:00Linda is really the only qualified person for this...Linda is really the only qualified person for this position. You have to understand that Frank Flisser held this position or 37 years. Linda, like Frank, will be managing a governmental body which holds 9 individual personalities. I can only imagine how difficult this job will be for Linda. She has the experience in aiding Frank manage this body. It seems as though the issue of the salary is bothersome. Is it a bit high...yes, but is Linda deserving of it? Mostly definitely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-13968419525812605662015-03-06T18:27:02.441-05:002015-03-06T18:27:02.441-05:00Yes the $87 K is outrageous! 15 years as a clerica...Yes the $87 K is outrageous! 15 years as a clerical assistant now making more than the CE or some cabinet level positions?

Remember seeing this position in the local paper, not too long ago and even gave Peg F's address in the add as to where to send resumes. The qualifications were quite specific. Was a job description changed? You got to be kidding they didn't know the specific salary right? Is Peg and other council that clueless? I think not, they just play dumb because they can. Maybe the new HR Director (if she's still around) needs to do some salary audits of all county positions. I bet council controls this position and salary.
