Last year the county commissioners paid about 50 senior leaders $2.7 million to quit. This year, the county is considering pay $4 million to get some 370 more county employees to quit. Who else gets such a deal?
Isn’t it nice that county government can use its reserves and our tax dollars to make lay-offs and retirement so painless? We will see the savings a year or two from now ….that is if they don’t hire anybody to replace the employees.
However, this $6.7 million could have been used to reduce our property taxes and we would still save the move if we fired these 420 employees.
