West Palm Beach mayor and commissioners vote in big raises for themselves

Comment Up

The Palm Beach Post article began with "City Commissioners have approved raises for themselves and Mayor Jeri Muoio, their first increases since 2004."

West Palm Beach has a similar problem to Lake Worth's.  In West Palm beach, commissioners are getting the big raises while projects have gone idle because of lack of funds. In Lake Worth, staff is still waiting for its 4% raise after not having one in eight years as department heads have all been raised in spite of them telling us they have no money to even fix a pothole.

WPB Commissioner Shanon Materio and Paula Ryan voted the right way on this one.

Would you consider that praise for Commissioner Materio for voting the right way on this one?

My head is starting to hurt.

They Should be so ashamed. How is she worth $150,000, plus health ins. and other perks? Who can justify this?

Under no Circunstance is the mayor worth $125,000, let alone a raise to $150,000. Talk about entitlement, the entitlement of another elected official to rape the taxpayer, while services continue to deteriorate. Rome is still burning people.

@5:02..Materio and Ryan voted NO to the raises. I think that this was a correct vote, you disagree?
