City Council "full-time" fraud?
Last night on
http://www.votesimivalley.com
it was mentioned that the City Council has managed to get all the benefits that
they do by claiming a low hourly rate and that it is a full time position.
There are a couple of serious problems with this though.
According to the
State of CA
the current minimum wage is $8/hour.
If you calculate the hourly rate that the City Council is getting,
it comes out to $7.18 ($14,937.96 / 2080).
This means that the hourly rate is BELOW the CA Minimum wage and
suggests that they are not following the law.
It could be that they calculated it based on a 35 hour week.
No, I am not suggesting that they get a raise.
The next issue is that if they are claiming it is a full-time,
40 hours per week, job,
then I would like to see proof that they are actually working full-time
and not abusing their "full-time" position.
How many REAL hours are the Council members working?
I am not talking about any excuse to claim that they are working
as a Council member.
Most of the City Council have other jobs,
which seems to be a conflict to me in that they can not work at
their "full-time" City Council position.
It seems that this "fraud" is known in City Hall,
but it has not been mentioned to the public nor any action taken
to correct the matter.
