Umm, No, Stupid Idea

When you mention greedy politicians, just look at the Clark County Commissioners.
From the Las Vegas Sun: Clark County commissioners will have the option of taking a raise on their $72,488 salary in the coming months after a decision at their Tuesday meeting.
The issue: Commissioners discussed whether to adjust their salaries after a 2011 pay cut and several years with no salary increase.
The vote: No vote was taken. Commissioners advised staff to draft a resolution allowing a raise in July and another in January. The resolution would be considered at a future meeting.
What it means:
Each of the seven commissioners will get a raise, if they want it.
Commissioners still have to vote on a final resolution allowing two 4 percent raises over the next year, but on Tuesday they seemed amenable to the overall $6,000 bump in salary.
“I think it’s time,” Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani said. “As we’ve asked our employees to step back, we’ve stepped back as a board to try and lead by example … now I think there’s some restoration that should come into play.”
Commissioner salaries have not increased since 2008. In 2011, commissioners agreed to a 2 percent pay cut that also was imposed on other county employees.

These fools don't need the pay raise for a part time job.
Perhaps they need a raise because the bribe money former and current commissioners have and are receiving is drying up so they need a pay raise.
