I know this may be disengenous but I kinda need some help from my friends here at CA.
I am an employee of Baker County, Florida. Most of you know that I am an EMT that works on a 911 ambulance here and am also the president of the local IAFF here. We haven't had a salary increase for the second year in a row. The board of county commissioners have found some money that is a refund, enough to give each county employee a one time $1000.00 bonus. Most of you probably think I make more money than I do, but that's ok most people do. What I need from you is for you to go and vote on a poll running on the local newspapers website. the poll is over on the right hand side and asks the simple question; should county employees receive bounuses this year. We have some citizens that are pitching a fit and I have had to go and address the board and support this decision, and I think they will give it but help always- well helps. If you could go and vote on this poll it would be awesome. The link to the website is http://www.bakercountypress.com/ Thanks for your help. |

This is prolly going to blow the minds of the people who are opposed. Friends are always a good thing. I am sure they can prolly check the IPs and tell that most votes weren't local, but heck a skewed poll in our favor will be a heck of a lot better and more fun than a run of the mill poll.

We only have about 35,000 people in the whole county, this should be entertaining to say the least. I don't have great ideas very often but I think this one was a good one if I do say so myself.

I voted for you. I work in a local government finance department. It always amazes me the number of citizens who are opposed to government employees getting a raise or bonus. If they knew what their tax dollars were really wasted on, our getting raises would be the least of their concerns.

I'm curious-what is the point of the poll other than to stir the pot for the local residents? If your board is making decision based upon a newspaper poll, you're got major problems.
Everyone wants a raise, but at the end of the day, millions have had their salaries actually cut (not held steady, but actual cuts) or lost their jobs in the past 2 years, so those are the people you're not going to win over or gain any of their sympathy. |

Voted "yes."
I know what EMTs go through. As a volunteer chaplain, I don't get anything. They wanted to cut what we do get, which is only my dues for the Internation Conference of Police Chaplains - about $75 a year. There are no other chaplains in the county. Peace of the Lord be with you.
