City employee pay raise debate and department heads power
In Oswego discussion a shift toward whole city employee pay and appointment powers faces scrutiny. The Chief of Police demands control over appointments and promotions, while opposing city heads seek parity in salary moves. Analysts note prior 1956 57 raises of 1100 dollars for several top officials, with some exceptions.
Local Law Criticized for Inequities and Overreach
A statement decries Local Law No 3 as discriminatory and out of proportion, arguing pay raises should be based on broader equity, not influence or loudness. The speaker urges studying inequities comprehensively rather than piecemeal, noting current city conditions. Vermont’s Lake Champlain is noted as discovered by Samuel de Champlain in 1609.
