New County Administrator Salary
- Thread starter Bob Hudson
- Start date
Many CEO's take a dollar when the company is in dire straits. I'm sure those who are struggling to live and looking at pay cuts will appreciate the big dogs getting paid. And what good does getting 8 million do if we are going to waste it on tripe like "to each your beach."

It might be - but I personally think it is bloated and I think a lot of money is/has been wasted - and which offsets any money brought in.
A lot of CEOs are taking pay cuts, or are tying their pay to their performance. The governor is being paid $1.
From a strictly HR perspective - the current salary for someone with 15 years experience in the job and 30 years in the county was X. Why during a time of budget issues and cuts elsewhere is the STARTING salary (because I think if someone does well raises should be in order) X + 30K?
IMO these salaries are the "defense budget" of Sowal - seems we can always find $$$ to spend on this, yet not on other things a fraction of the cost and multiple times the importance.

Maybe using CEO is a bad comparison since most are seen by the common man as evil now. A better analogy might be people who complain about high-dollar college coach salaries when their success makes the colleges tens of millions. You get what you pay for these days and the market sets the salaries.
Ultimately you do get what you pay for. At least that's the hope.

Careful you don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

I think you'd serve your community better if you joined the process with the goal of making improvements.
Rethink your analogy, good buddy. Trickle down economics, eh?

"Despite raking in billions of dollars in television, ticket, and licensing revenues, all but 14 of the 106 schools in the NCAA’s top athletic division (FBS, formerly IA) lost money in 2009. The median loss was over $10 million."

Is this guy a state pensioner or a private contractor? That number doesn't jibe with the current contribution percentages set by FRS.
