Overpaid
Wow, I would love to be overpaid $10,000. Paying it back could sting, though.
Seriously, how does an organization screw up four separate paychecks? That is absolutely inexcusable. What better way to give trust in local government a kick in the shins than to overpay a part-timer (earning $62K/year) by ten grand? Well, don’t answer that. There are much bigger ways to screw up, and in the grand scheme of things this isn’t that big of a deal. But it isn’t good. What are the odds that, if elected, Mayor Beutler’s first act will be to clean house in the accounting department?

At least I will give props to the Journal Star (don’t let that get around) for telling this story. I thought the piece on Ray’s Lawn Care/Ken Svoboda last week was a last-minute hatchet job to make him look bad just before the primary.

Now, it’s clear that both mayoral front-runners are victims of last-minute hatchet jobs, thus proving that the Journal Star wants Roger Yant to be the next mayor.
