Wow! Her starting pay is the same as our previous City Manager? Let's make sure our council doesn't then give merit increases since this is already for a top notch performance - since the previous city manager was also brought in at the same level as Kevin Duggan who had done an amazing job for a long time.
Then, I have to wonder, how long does one have to stay in this position before we, the tax payers, are on the hook for a lifetime of salary and benefits? These pensions are bankrupting our society.

While in office, the U.S. president receives a salary of $400,000 a year and a $50,000 expense account.

@@Bankrupting, people like you are your own worst enemy, which is why you keep losing. The mildest criticism and you dive headfirst into racism, turning off anyone who would consider agreeing with you. Thank you for your service.

Talk about you showing off your ignorance, I have brown skin!

Do you believe that people with "brown skin" cannot be racist? Please get back to screaming about "illegals" and posting made up numbers about how much they cost California.

Ser mexicano significa que no puedo ser racista cuando estoy de acuerdo con las leyes de los Estados Unidos cuando funcionan igualmente para todas las personas de piel morena.

Tú, que eres racista y fanático, deberías saber esto.

I see you've given up substantiating your made up numbers about the cost of "illegals" in California. It'll be exciting to see your endorsement of poll taxes, literacy tests, and more for voting as "not racist" since you have "brown skin" and it affects everyone equally.

You should speak at public comment at a city council meeting! I'm certain everyone will realize how not-racist you are and how well-founded your ideas are once you begin screaming wildly about illegals.

Why are you even questioning something that is a fact, facts are not offensive.

You can call others names, even the R word, this just means you are close minded and have an agenda.

"Illegal Immigration Costs California $30.3 Billion A Year—17.7 Percent Of State Budget"

Why Prop. 13 bothers you, and not this, is beyond comprehension.
Live and let live, or expect a push back. The people voted for Prop 13 for a reason.

Gladys, did you really cite some random blogpost that uses the public school education of 1 million American citizens as a "cost of illegal immigration?" My goodness, the motivated reasoning of someone hell-bent on demonizing "illegals" is a wondrous thing.

Poster above,

You need to have some credibility first, which you have none of, before you can pass judgement on something you simply refuse/deny/ to admit too. People on this site know that.

You have been posting here for several years, hateful/dishonest/attacking/ comments that you repeatedly make. You have been banned, posts deleted and you think that whatever you say that people will believe you? Get a life man.

You keep "demonizing people, and it is not a wondrous thing."

What in the world are you talking about? I've been posting on here for years? Now I definitely want to see you speak out at a council meeting!
