County Manager Raise vs Deputy Funding: Anderson's Take
Published 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
Rob Anderson exposes the contradiction in Clark County's budget priorities after the council approved a county manager raise while claiming no general fund money exists for 149 needed deputy positions. Fresh from open-heart surgery, the Reform Clark County founder breaks down the heated Charter Review Commission exchange with Glen Yung and questions why taxpayers must fund public safety through new sales taxes while executive compensation increases continue. Anderson argues this reveals a prioritization problem, not a revenue shortage, as the county sits well below Washington's already-low deputy staffing averages. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-the-county-manager-gets-a-raise-while-taxpayers-get-a-new-tax/ #ClarkCounty #PublicSafety #CountyBudget #TaxPolicy #Reform #Reformcast #Deputies #CountyManager #ChartereReview #Priorities
