LETTER: A big raise at county headquarters

Updated January 11, 2024 - 6:35 pm

I read in the Review-Journal that the Clark County manager was given a generous 9 percent salary increase after being on the job for one year. He also received a bonus of $15,000. It’s heartwarming to see how generous the powers-that-be at the city are with taxpayer money — otherwise known at other people’s money. Way to go. Oh, and I forgot to mention: Social Security recipients received a 3.2 percent increase this year.

A previous version of this letter inaccurately stated who received the raise.

This seems to me as good a reason as any to cancel this boondoggle.
