on the surface the optics of what the concillers rec'd vs what the city is offering this group of ee's does not look good; however, one also needs to understand the total comp package - for example i used to see Ric M at various events on the weekends and evenings - which lead me to wonder how many hours he is actually working - if he was working 80hrs per week - then is a raise of 4.0% not about equal to a a raise of 2% for someone working 40 hrs per week.
We all want to make more money, but nobody wants to pay more for anything........
