The Springfield city council recently hired a new city manager and I believe are paying him one of the highest salaries in the county for that position (relative to the size of the city and all that jive whatever). The main whine I am hearing from the backwoods on this one goes as such: The city has had a hard time coming up with the money for our police and firefighter's pensions. They have made all kinds of cuts in all kinds of places to come up with what they need so far, but still say it will remain a major problem. So, the whine goes, how can the city council justify paying someone, with no experience they point out incessantly, such a high salary when they are having to make cuts yada yada. You get the point.
So here's the question, Can you justify paying this man so much money saying the problems are so big that is just how much it costs to get someone in who can fix them? Does the fact that he has zero city manager experience eliminate that justification? Does anyone care about local politics? Did 'Sarah Steelman' even actually exist? Can I vote for Micheal Phelps for president? Is anyone listening anymore? Is BPB real? Does anyone love me? Ok, well then does anyone have any drugs?
