I totally agree with Jake and Mr. Brieden. No new raises! IF there is indeed a surplus, then rather than give out raises, we should spend the money needed to educate our kids and give them the books that they need. How selfish of the City Manager to give himself a rasise and ignor the needs of the children in this City?

What does he feel that he has done to warrant sucha huge raise, in the first place, and how dare he ignore the children and such needed books???

I say let's look for a new City Manager who has his priorities in the right order. He quite clearly, doesn't. He puts him self frist! WRONG!! I encourage the City Council to begin a search for a new City Manager. And no Manager gets any contract...ever! Buying out contracts is too expensive and we should use that money for many other more imprtant things.
