Mayor Harris clarifies Payroll Tax Officer pay scale Mayor Mark D. Harris called at 10:36amCT, today, Wednesday, December 24, 2014 to follow up on Marcia Grider's question with this statement: "Our intention is to use someone on our current staff to handle the duties of the Payroll Tax Officer. But whether we hire someone or have a member of he current staff to do the job, we still have to have a job description and a pay scale for that job. "I personally don't see a need for a new hire. The next Mayor may suggest something different, but as a member of the incoming city council, I think the city will not need a new hire. "We will be taking up an amendment to the ordinance after the new year; my preference will be to bring it up at the first meeting of the New Year." - MARK D.

Thanks. - Marcia GriderThanks, Marcia Grider. An excellent question. And one which should have clarified last night.

Jamie Isabelle comment: New mayor election 'It isn't like anything has ever changed around this town in years. Yes, the new tax issue was a big deal with the way it was handled. This is just a small drop in the bucket for things that have been going on for years. - JAMIE ISABELLE By Jamie Isabelle Personal commentary I hope Judge Vance tells Mr. Arnold sorry about your luck on the new election. If Mr. Arnold was so worried about how this town is, then he would have been on the ballot from the start. His name would have been in black and white from the get go and no one would have worried about writing it in. I understand there was a mix up at some of the voting sites, but from what I understand those people could have gone back and redone them. When the person didn't see his name already listed, like it should have been, then that would have been a red flag from the start if they were determined to vote for him. It isn't like anything has ever changed around this town in years. Yes, the new tax issue was a big deal with the way it was handled. This is just a small drop in the bucket for things that have been going on for years. I believe, if he was all so concerned he should have already had decided to try to make a change well before the last minute to file for office. I do want to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!! --Jamie Isabelle 2014-12-24 03:24:37 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary
