In the Gazette's front page story “GNL storage vs City Restrictions continues”, former Council Member Laurie Hernandez asked the Council to answer the question she asked at the last Council Meeting concerning the $8 an hour raise given to the Assistant City Manager, while other city staff members are being furloughed. About ten minutes later Council Member Brian Sipes responded to Hernandez, stating there is a lot on the Council’s agenda and that “the argument about the $8 was bogus”. So the Gazette would like to ask Councilman Sipes, what was the original hourly salary of the Assistant City Manager, and how long did she receive that hourly rate before it was raised by $8 an hour? When did she receive the raise and how long is she exlpected to fill that position at the new, elevated rate? Or is the question bogus?
