County budget hearing drills into exec pay amid tax hike
Democrats accused the county of excessive executive salaries at a public budget hearing for the proposed 1993 budget of 153 million dollars. They cited former County Council Chairman Ted Erickson earning 110 thousand annually as executive director and Matt Hayes moving to head the Solid Waste Authority for the same pay. Council members debated salary caps and organizational restructuring as real estate reassessment, trash, and recycling were discussed. The plan would raise property taxes 4.861 mills to a total of 109.524 for the year, with the average home seeing about 16.04 more dollars in taxes.
