I wouldn't say I was fortunate, but the military paid for my degrees in return for 6 years of military service.

Right now everyone is struggling and they make atleast 2x as much a year than I do. And many other residents of deschutes Co Maybe if they struggle some they might fight for what the people need.

I guess the money they got from Thornburgh wasn't enough. Or maybe they think they deserve a reward for the fine job they think they did in selecting Cheyenne Purrington.

Old witch Adair and her CHRO were more responsible than anyone for Cheyenne's appointment. Phil Chang brought Cheyenne's inadequacies to our attention, then declined the pay increase for himself.

If they are having trouble living on $111,442 per year then maybe they should lower their expenses. I would support an 8% pay cut though.

Absoutely not ! They have harmed more than helped the county and residents and now they want to be paid more. People, watch who you vote for.
