Another greedy political hack. Do as I say, not as I do. Dig deeper into those pockets with your short hands lady, and give up the 5% like everyone else. Be an example, not an idiot. I realize when you got elected, you believed that you were owed something. Wrong!Take some vitamins and let those short hands grow into those deep pockets and pay up sweetie!

she makes 80 grand a year and took a flat 50 dollar cut. 7 day work week? she hasn't been to a city council meeting in years. her 5 and 15% plan for wage cuts and cost sharing would have cut my pay almost 100 a week. we are forced to take compensatory time instead of pay for overtime which is sometimes forced. with the overtime loss my overall pay cut is more to the tune of 10 to 15%. nice job mayor!

I think I heard the mayor defend herself a few days ago on radio talk show. She did not disagree with the fact she took a 3% pay cut and went on to say the rate was figured by her 7 day work week.
Question is what is it? A 3% as stated on radio? 9% as stated on Ch12?
Lets face it 5% is 5% regardless of days you work. Especially with a salary which I believe is 80K a year.

Plain and simple...she's a thief! It was hilarious to watch the city workers run like roaches with the lights on when Sean Daly was looking for comments. If they said anything bad about the dictator, they would be shot at sunrise. To know this ****..is to hate her! She has gotten way too comfortable on her throne. She surrounds herself with suckasses like the $104,000.00 a year highway superintendent who sells wood from the city as well ripping off the city with unworked overtime. Then you add the Public Works Director {THE GUY WHO TOLD SEAN DALY TO LEAVE} Mike Annarummo {Mr. Magoo look alike} who talks out of both sides of his mouth and you get just a little of the picture how "The City on the Move" operates!

Mike, your words of wisdom sound very similar to another talk show loser.....Pete!!! Even "sunshine" makes more sense than you! Go have breakfast with Yogi at Debbies' and praise the high water and sewer bills that flow through city hall. Your house and car taxes are next! Starting July 1st your love affair with "the honorable" Susan Menard will end! The party is over Ray Charles!

Other workers are taking a 5% pay cut as well as a bigger copay in benefits. Why should the copay be figured in for her. Let her take the 5% like everyone else instead of thinking she is better than everyone else in the city's employment

Jean Paul I JUST READ YOUR COMMENTS AND I CAN SEE YOU ARE A UNION MAN OF LIMITED INTELLIGENCE. WHAT ARE YOU CONTRIBUTIONS TO SOCIETY OTHER THAN DRAING THE LOCAL TAX PAYERS. SUSAN MENARD IS THE FIRST MAYOR WITH THE B***S to STAND UP TO THE GREEDY UNION PIGS LIKE YOU.

Clueless in Ct....After tonights emergency meeting, when the city finds out your mayor and her cronies were lying about the school dept. budget, maybe we'll see who has limited intelligence!When kids can't play sports, the music dept. gets cut, and we lose many teachers...Thank your fearless leader! By the way the word is draining not "draing" but thanks for the post. Can't wait for tomorrows'.

jean paul he is in ct he has no clue on her mike must be a realitive in ct of hers because not to many are supporting this women and those who work in city all seam to be affriad of her. oh by the way if she wanted to make a stink and save money she should have fired all of her tax collection workers for leaving the office. mmmmmmmmmmmmm but she missed the boat on that one.

i would love to know wht kind of math they are using in the state and city offices to.

only a city and state office and add 2+2 and have it equal 5 and say ok were all set with that one.

Lets see....An average municipal employee was taking home around 380.00 a week before the 5% pay cut and 15% medical deduction. He or she now take home around 310.00 with the new rules in effect. The union president,a janitor at city hall, made 75,000.00 last year, with over 40,000.00 in overtime. The Highway superintendent made 104,000.00 last year, with a base salary of 55,000.00, and stipends and overtime of close to 49,000.00. These two individuals are butt kissers of the 3% paying mayor! Now really Mike...who are the greedy pigs? Yeah I know...O.J. was innocent too!
