If you look at the logo on his shirt,
Local Flavor, Global Vision.

Another United Nations outpost.

Yup, he’s been a good boy. It pays.

Golden hand cuffs.

Helps to keep ‘em on the ‘program’.

The ICLEI program.

If the free market determines the salary of people in whatever position, how can you guys object?

Maybe you’re just too dumb to understand how hard these jobs are.

And take Hillary Clinton out of your argument. There are emotional rewards, especially if your already have the bucks.

Hand all your tax money to the lowest bidder? Sounds about right for this group.

When it comes to what city managers get paid, plus all the health & medical benefits and vehicle compensation, the ‘joke’ always been on the rest of us.

Jerry Brown makes $173,000 a year.

Hillary Clinton makes $186,000 a year.

Mr. Griffin may or may not be comparably skilled, but Gov. Brown governs 37 million. Secretary of State Clinton represents 310 million Americans.

Mr. Griffin is responsible for 80,000 people.

His salary is $189,000 a year.

Talk amongst yourselves.

I hope he takes the occupy tent with him when he departs.
I don’t blame him for leaving-it must be lonely to be one of maybe two people in the room that have any common sense at every council meeting.

Maybe Mr. Griffin can try to collect a “fair share” from the tent group (or individual, it appears) before he goes, for their use of the town square the past six + months.
At $350.00 per day, it should be a tidy sum by now, and could go toward those less fortunate who want to hold an event in the square, the arts, lawn restoration, or pay a portion of the salaries of Sebastopol elected officials, who allow the usually vacant Progressive Propaganda Palace to remain in the square indefinitely, without liability insurance.

If he is lucky, Jacks new position will not require him to advise the police to selectively enforce the law as this one has.
