TAXPAYER ALERT!
Mayor's Office Weekly Salaries $6,379.54
Mayor DeMaria pads his friends pockets again. With 2 Chiefs of Staff at $1,443.08 a week per person?
We knew Melissa Murphy was his Chief of Staff but who is Gary Jones?
And with Matt Laidlaw as "Director of Communications" in the Mayor's Office while being paid out of the ECTV Budget at a nice salary of $66,083.16.

Gary Jones is the IT director. Since he's a one man department, I don't see what's the big deal is with the Mayor signing off on his time each week? I'd be pretty certain that his salary is charged to the right line item in the budget. If annualized, his salary is slightly under budget. So, no real surprise there.
If you subtract Mr Jones' salary, the salaries paid in the mayor's office, if annualized, also come in under budget. A little harder to tell there though because some employees are paid for the hours they work; one week's data may not be enough to confirm that but it appears to be OK.
If you follow the budget, the real new information provided by that post is detail of what is paid out in salaries by ECTV. That usually isn't included in the budget because it's a grant funded department. In FY09, we did get a total for ECTV's salary line item in Mr. Carlisle's confusing budget document; but that was before Mr. Laidlaw was hired. It would be interesting to see something similar for Community Development, which is also grant funded, but after their recent hire(s?). Also new is how much of the money that was budgeted for the Chief of Staff position Melissa Murphy received. |

It's odd that their salaries are exact to the penny.

WE HAD TO GO THROUGH THE SECRETARY OF STATES OFFICE FOR THIS INFORMATION. THE NEW PERSONNEL DIRECTOR TRIED STALLING AS LONG AS HE COULD THAT IS WHY THESE ARE FROM DECEMBER. |
