You should continue to make things up. Almost none of what you say is happening is happening.
That leaves over $29 million for raises for the Police and Fire Departments.

Exactly, if anyone deserves a raise....
why not a gillion, what's your point? The raise is to reward excellence, which is never a given, and to keep her happy and well incentivized for the tough times ahead. Without the carrot you get the workers a DPS. We don't need that type of at ude from our city manager.
and cutting back on the lazy people who act like they are doing me a favor at city government is fine by me.
The police and fireman are getting raises. The firemen larger than the police if I remember correctly.
+1 I guess saving the city millions is more important than putting your life on the line.
this is about the point the serenity prayer kicks in for me.
good luck peeps and I'm out.
There is no hiring freeze.
There are no planned cut backs.
I have more time to kill before class. I don't go down that easy.
I'm not sure what 'without the carrot you get the workers a DPS' means, but basically I'm reading here that Sculley is the model of excellence while everyone beneath her is lazy. Got it.
Its quite obvious you hear what you want. You didn't have to actually point it out.
Sculley, meanwhile, repeated that she does not expect cuts in service or layoffs. However, she is asking all city department heads to submit new budgets that would trim 2 percent of their current spending plans. Those cuts would only be implemented if the economy continues to worsen.
The police and fire departments, which account for the lion's share of the $929 million general operating fund, were asked to submit budgets with 1 percent cuts in case the situation doesn't improve.
Some City Council members attending a budget informational session seemed surprised when told that the current city plan would be showing a $21 million deficit if it hadn't been for $22 million carried over from the 2008 budget.
Without that cushion, Zanoni said, cuts or layoffs would have already occurred.
BTW who was responsible for that surplus?
You're right.....it's a hiring "chill"
Sculley, who also initiated an immediate “hiring chill” on vacant positions, said the city wants to be ready with a plan should the national economy suffer a more significant downturn.
http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/Cit..._in_funds.htmlNo, there are just contingency plans in place........which apparently includes a 6.8 percent ($20k) raise for the city manager....There are no planned cut backs.
which by the way, firefighters received about 5%, police about 4% and the rest of the civilians a generous 3% cost of living increase.
I'd hire Manny today if I could....less the $20K increase of course.
way to lump in all city workers into one group.
I don't think he said fire all city employees - he said fire the lazy one.
Reading is fundamental.
mm....no i guess i didn't have to.
You realize her raise was only slightly more than 5%?
Oh snap!!
My 5% raise was 2K....and I admit I didn't turn it down. I'm such a damn hypocrite. My bad.
if you mean 6.8% then yes, I realize that.
A thread full of MIG's mathematical prowess.
I don't think he said fire the lazy one.
I think he said cutting back on the lazy people who act like they are doing him a favor at city government is fine by him.
So both math and reading are fundamental. Got it.
do you deserve your 5% raise?
what exactly am I making up? I'm just reading off of the articles from mysa.
seems to me you guys are the ones talking about private sectors and head hunters banging on her door offering her big time $$$ and that if we don't pony up, she is on the first plane out of here.
