  • There are a lot of questions about the Sacramento city manager's controversial salary. He was already the highest paid in the state when the city council illegally voted last week to give him another raise.

    Sacramento City, do you really wonder why your city government can't solve problems … really? There is no way the City Council did not know what they were doing violated State rules. If they did not, fire the City Attorney.

    Why does he deserve that money? I live in Sacramento. Where is the proof that he's actually doing something good for the city ?

    Who else can vote on their own salary increase? I scratch your back, you scratch mine? How is this not considered as corruption?

    When you say, "he negotiated increases in his pay", what do the residents of Sacramento get in the return for the raise? What happens if he doesn't get a raise? Does he up and leave? Well, there's the effen' door walk through it Mr. Chen. I'm sure we can find another candidate for your job that will do as little work to help your city as you do for half the salary.

    So when politicians add more taxes to you on the ballet it doesn't go towards any improvement, rather it goes to city workers bonus and salary increase. What a true shake down of the people. Smh

    Note that his taxpayer funded salary has nearly DOUBLED since 2017, excluding the paid leave. The paid leave clause is really questionable, and no competent HR manager would ever allow that clause, which could result in ~ $$1 million. payout when he leaves.

    A feel good story right before tax season. When you cough up one of the highest rates in the US next year just remember that at least it’s going towards improving your state and local communities and not towards city workers blatantly bleeding the system. Happy holidays you guys.

  • @eh3477
    @eh3477 Před 5 měsíci +1

    The City Mgr is paid almost $200k!! more than the next highest paid employee (city attorney). Sounds like he spends more time negotiating this bloated benefits package than he does working. The City Council, mayor, and attorney work with Brown Act issues ALL the time... its impossible to believe they thought they could award a huge $$raise during a closed session. Smells very fishy.
    CBS, please tell us what this employee is doing that requires a nearly 100% salary increase since 2017!?? "It sounds like he deserves it" is a lame explanation. This is a huge taxpayer ripoff.

    if he's earning his keep and working 24/7 then maybe that's okay; otherwise if there's no one as competent and willing to take a paycut all that money is just going to go towards consultants or others who'll do the job at even greater mark-ups and inefficiencies - or no one will work for the government.
