Lloyd E.
Davis
For District
Commissioner
During my last term as commluloner, the salaries of our department heads
were between $38,000 and $80,000 per year. When checking at City HsOl recently, I
discovered that the salaries were well over $70,000 per year, not including the
Mayor’a ealary of $18,900. It aeems to me that this is entirely too much for a city
of our else. I feel that we are paying part of these salaries from a Federal Grant,
because I do not believe our taxpayers could afford this.
At tho present we are paying more than $70,000 annually to people employed
by the City but never have and probably never will live within our city limtte.
They su« cltlsens of surrounding towns.
We have numerous college graduates who were bom and raised in Kinge
Mountain - both black and white — that are capable of filling these positions.
IWHY ARE THEY HAVING TO GO TO OTHER TOWNS TO FIND EM
PLOYMENT? WHY AREN’T WE EMPLOYINO THESE PEOPLE? They are
ourtaxpayers and this is where their salaries should come from.
The figures mentioned here are not something I have heard — they are actual
figures taken from the Payroll records at City Hall. If you find them hard to
believe, you as a clttaen have the right to go to the City Hall and ask to see the
records. These and all other records of this nature are available for your In
spection.
I feel that the above Is something each of ua should be concerned Mbout. I foel
that we should pay our employee good salaries but some of these are ridiculous.
YOUR SUPPORT IN THE COMINO ELECTION WILL BE GREATLY AP
PRECIATED.
Bedding Celebration!
