Credit where it's due . . . Fox 4 did an excellent job with recent salary reporting in Jackson County Government. They had to work with quotes that were pretty much propaganda BUT they put some REALLY AWESOME information out there that has been creating a stir among insiders @ The County.
2011 salaries that earned a lot of attention . . .
Around $128k for Calvin Williford
Around $137k for Fred Siems
Around $130k for Shelley Temple-Kneuvean
Again, Fox 4 did a great job taking apart the story about car bonuses but a JACKSON COUNTY INSIDER noticed something remarkable.
THESE TOP LEVEL JACKSON COUNTY EMPLOYEES EARN MORE THAN GOV. JAY NIXON TAKES HOME FROM THE STATE OF MISSOURI!!!
According to a Missouri website . . . Gov. Jay only took home a little more than $117k from The Show-Me State.
"Mike is a skilled politician, I don't begrudge him that. But it's a case of the County Executive trumpeting his own pay cut without noting the exorbitant salaries among his top level staff," The Jackson County Insider said.
While, I'm sure these top level JaxCo employees do important work . . . They don't have the same level of responsibility as Gov. Jay . . . And while The Jackson County Executive has made some VERY SIGNIFICANT CUTS among lower level staff and programs for the homeless . . . Some of the most knowledgeable people at the County think that the savings that is so frequently touted needs to be put into perspective.
also, jay doesn't have to pay e-tax.
ReplyDeleteWow there is the real story . So why do we need Sanders if he is not running the County. What a liar
ReplyDeleteMoney is the root of all evil.
ReplyDeleteNow that he is Party Chair, he has his job handled with all of that high price help. Let the good times roll.
ReplyDeleteSanders is great at slight of hand.
ReplyDeleteJust more slight of hand
ReplyDeleteCalvin is a Goddamn crook. Send him to jail.
ReplyDeleteCalvin Williford worked in the highly Republican Reagan White House.
ReplyDeleteFred Siems is a Republican from Eastern Jackson County.
Shelley Temple-Kneuvean comes from Lee's Summit, so we can assume she is a Republican.
Does anyone see a trend here?
Calvin worked for Reagan?
ReplyDeleteCalvin does a lot of good down here in central America showing love for our boy-orphans.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe they worried about Mr. Ruiz when they have perverts and Republicans working there at such high salaries.
ReplyDeleteHow about Tom Wyrsch?
ReplyDeleteSanders should have never declared war on Genaro. This will mean the end of Mike's political career in the long term.

ReplyDeleteWhy does Sanders have all these Republicans working for him? And isn't Calvin friends with Jeff Roe?
Let's get this right the two top executives receive $600 per month car allownace. Under federal mileage reimbursement that is equal to 1200 miles actually driven per month. Doubtful at best. Mileage reimbursements were done away with years ago for the regular employees. Also, look at the historic raises in the executive office, including those hidden in other department's budgets you will see a pattern of increases beyond what anyone else received.
ReplyDeleteI think they should use public transportation or mabe they should all carpool hell kneuvean probally gets taxi pay hauling her drunk husband to work too. Sanders takes care of his cronies.
ReplyDeleteThese managers are underpaid , look at outrageous pay of grain valley manager Alexa Barton 125k ans lees summit manager Steven Arbo
ReplyDeleteAll of these people have shady past just look at where they all started.Sanders puts his yes men and women where he wants them. Hell Kneuvean got shit canned in lees summit.We can assume that this is just the tip of all the hidden fringes that they all get.I bet they dont even drive American made cars, that is too common. Also I bet they get there parking paid for too.
ReplyDeleteThey should do like the state and all have to reapply for there jobs with pay cuts. If you dont like it kick rocks.
