Hollywood is the land of make-believe. So it's fitting that President Obama found himself at the House of Blues on Monday night to tell wealthy, liberal donors that taxes need to go up to save the economy. "We can't just cut our way out of this problem," Mr. Obama said. "We've got to have some revenue. Reading from a script that would be best classified as fiction, Mr. Obama spun a gut-wrenching tale of envy and greed. "I've been incredibly blessed," intoned "The One." "I shouldn't be paying a lower effective rate than a teacher, or a firefighter, or a construction worker." It's quite the tear-jerker, and it's quite untrue. Mr. Obama's net income in 2010 was $1,795,614 from huge book royalties and his $395,188 government salary. He paid $453,770 in federal taxes, making his effective t...
PARLEYS CANYON -- Few men can boast they'd forgo a six-figure salary to work 24-hour shifts as a firefighter. Even fewer could probably say they gave up work as a corporate attorney because they wanted to help people.
Who are we to say that a firefighter who earns a base salary of $60,000 a year shouldn't wind up getting twice that amount when overtime is figured in? And why would we complain when a physician employed by the county gets $430,000 a year? Should we be outraged when a municipal official earns $250,00 a year plus benefits? Darn right, because their pay is on the taxpayer dime. Or darn wrong, because they could make much more in private industry. It's common for CEOs of the largest multi-billion-dollar companies to make seven-figure salaries, and perks to die for, but with absolutely no job security. But firefighters who earn nearly $200,000 a year is a bit much. And the argument that public employees could make much more on the outside doesn't hold much water. No one forces anyone to be ...
The Shelby County Commission voted 8-3 Monday to give a 1.5 percent salary boost to the county's 140 firefighters. Pay for a firefighter with three or more years of experience would increase from $49,572 to $50,316.
Something's gotta give. That's the message from Pacific Grove City Manager Jim Colangelo, who's pushing residents to learn about the city's budget crunch and help decide how to fix it. On the evenings of Jan. 24 and 27, Colangelo and Budget Director Jim Becklenberg presented the city's fiscal woes and potential solutions to residents gathered at the Sally J. Griffin Senior Center. Under-funded services include the city's stormwater plan, street and parks maintenance, a boost in police and firefighter wages and a tree management program. Salary raises for police officers and firefighters are also a top priority, as evidenced by the four current vacancies in the 25-officer police department. "We just can't get 'em recruited," Colangelo said. Pacific Grove's lower-than-average police salar...
STOCKTON, Calif., June 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Stockton Firefighters, joined by community leaders and a resident whose life they saved two weeks ago, gathered at the Fallen Firefighter Memorial to announce a proposal today to provide the City of Stockton with $5.7 million in salary, benefit and other concessions in order to prevent cuts to fire and emergency medical services. The proposal is the largest concession offer of any employee group for the upcoming budget and brings the total amount of firefighter concessions to nearly $19 million over the last three years--well above any employee group. Stockton Firefighters have always made personal sacrifices to save the critical fire and emergency medical services our residents deserve," said Dave Macedo, President of Stockton Firefighters, Loc...
The city of Vancouver has reached an impasse in labor negotiations with the Police Command and Firefighter unions, with both cases set to be heard by a state arbitrator. In both situations, the city and the unions have been unable to come to an agreement on terms of salary and benefits union proposals would cost the city money; the city offers include no wage increase for workers and a hike in their benefit costs.
Defending last week's settlement of a harassment and hazing case involving a former Los Angeles firefighter, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on Monday said the city sent a message that it would not be an easy mark for payouts. Villaraigosa and the Los Angeles City Council signed off Friday on a $1.49 million payout to former Firefighter Tennie Pierce of Cerritos. The deal included $60,000 in back salary that guarantees his pension.
