Ok, the statement that city employees should never get raises is crazy. If this were the case the city would have no employees. I mean who would want a job where you go in and are told "well sir/ma'am just know by taking this job you will never make more than this amount and if you get promoted you will not receive a pay raise" I mean this is what it is about making money to support your family. Raises are common place in EVERY job in America. Just because you don't get one for a few years doesn't mean you don't want one or deserve one.I say give them the 3% cost of living raise, no matter who they work for.
wrong.. you must be on the government dole.. they burned all the old people for their SS raise last year and they are doing it again this year.. last year they gave themselves 40% raises and increased benefit packages.. no raises for anybody who takes a government check, fed, state, local.. it's only fair
