This is from Don Magruder's website - I don't agree with everything they say, but this detailed article about how County Government management tried to hide issuance of bonuses or merit increases in this poor economy indicate a major disconnect on the part of the Commissioners and the staff. In contrast, in today's Sentinel, it said the County of Orange is considering reducing ALL staff wages by 8% to meet lowered budget revenues. It seems the Commissioners in Lake County are out of touch and rubber stamping whatever County Manager Cindy Hall asks for. vj
