Dog:

Fiscally Conservative Republicans are elected on a set of values that we Idahoans beleive in. We will now, and in the future keep electing them.

Sometimes our leaders loose there foresight. This does not mean Fiscally Conservative Republicans are bad. It simply means we need to remind them who supplies there power, and why we gave it to them in the first place.

Should be tied to per capita income of those in their district.

And how is it that the county is bringing in more money when nearly everyone is getting crushed.

Thank you for the Good post Zippo!

Do these numbers include the overtime also?

EDITOR NOTE–These jobs don’t have overtime pay. One of the problems with overtime pay of government workers by the way is we get to pay it as long as they live. Idaho pensions are based on the highest 42 months of pay, not base salary.

Sheriff Raney and his 3 man posse make over $400,000 a year. So what’s wrong with this picture? It’s ludicrous. Give the deputies a decent raise, they are the ones doing the work. Raney is a smoothe talker, his biggest asset, but his daily actions speak differently. As for Yzaguire, he is starting to look like another Sharon. The three of them together is just plain bad politics in Ada County. To just wondering: look at the budget and see where the revenues came from. No other than the Sheriff from his costly fees to the taxpayers. All those fees got him a big fat raise. Now that’s a real story for the media to investigate.

It really is time for taxpayers to reassert these people are PUBLIC SERVANTS and they work at our pleasure not theirs. If they wish to leave two weeks notice is required and if we wish to terminate them they look for a “package” in a right to work state.
TIME TO SAY “TIME’S UP!” for a whole lot of people on the public dime.

The commissioners laid off dozens of county employees and they give themselves raises. And Bower’s salary ….

Somebody had to step up and give some salary increases and what better method than to have a Commissioner who will be turned out to pasture do the dirty work. The legislature will soon be in session with many new members who won’t have to stand for election again for two years. Hang on to your wallet. State employees will use this as justification to demand a raise. One hand washes the other
