What budget deficit?
November 26th, 2008 by Ken
Local governments might be wrestling with budget deficits and projected shortfalls, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at the cost of living pay increases being given to public employees next year.
The City of Lacey is giving all of its employees a 4.2 percent COLA.
The City of Olympia is giving all of its employees a 4.2 percent COLA.
The City of Tumwater is giving all of its employees a 4.0 percent COLA.
Thurston County is giving all of its employees a 6.2 percent COLA.
The Port of Olympia is giving all of its employees a 3.5 percent COLA.
Does any of this seem strange to anyone but me?
