A reader has asked for comments on two current Muscle Shoals situations. As always, we defer to our expert Leslie for commentary. Here's an intriguing opinion on the issue of employee raises:
Right now they get 1.3 million a year and tons of "in kind" work and other perks.
ALL THE WHILE - City employees are getting shafted. In fact, a few years ago the city discontinued family coverage insurance for employees.
Think of it like this - Most school employees work Monday - Friday (7:30 - 4:00) and inside temperature controlled buildings. If you are not a 12 month employee, you only work 185 days a year, make more money than city employees that work 48 - 50 weeks (240 - 250 hours) a year. Most of those city employees work outside in the extreme heat, cold, rain and all hours of the day and night, weekends AND holidays.
Then again, what would you expect out of Lockhart whose wife is a teacher in the MSCS?
The second situation to be addressed has been covered before. We're going to look up our previous post and republish it shortly. If anyone has any more Muscle Shoals questions, now's the time to forward them...
