Cissy Knoxville, TN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Jul 27, 2012 Judged: 1 1 I want to see this issue debated in public. That way every commisioner can be judged on his/her own vote. We need to know who are the fiscally responsible and who are the spenders. The idea that the commission could vote to increase it's salary wouldn't have worked under any administration other than mayor Arp. The mayor got the commission to increase his salary by tying their salary to his salary.
wanna know Knoxville, TN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #2 Jul 27, 2012 Judged: 1 1 The article said that Bob Franke and Austin Shaver were absent. Shaver resigned so that means that Franke was absent. Why should he get paid when he's a no show? Why should commissioners get a pay raise this year when employees didn't?
wishful thinking Knoxville, TN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Jul 27, 2012 Judged: 1 1 Cissy, don't hold your breath waiting to see or hear this bunch say anything about cutting their pay in public. The majority of commissioners and Mayor Estelle Herron are pure tax and spend.

IMHO Seymour, TN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #5 Jul 27, 2012 Give them $30.00 per meeting attended and then see who is willing to "serve"! These "public servant" positions are a source of extra income with few hours required, very little accountability, and good money! Cudos to Ms. Yarbrough for making the suggestion. She might make a great Mayor next time around!

I hope the voters in that district figure that out about Shallow Van and put him out to pasture with his goats and switchgrass. As far as commissioner Yarbrough running for county mayor, I like that idea. Go Sharron.

Cissy Knoxville, TN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #8 Aug 6, 2012 Is the commission going to address the salary cuts in the next meeting?
