Court Support Raise For Managers As City Budget Comes up For Vote

"Managers give us far more than we're giving them" that from our Mayor on why he supports City managers getting a 1.25 % raise in the middle of budget turmoil.

The city budget will be voted on tonight at Common Council

Ivan Court tells CHSJ News everyone is entitled to a little raise and they don't work 40 hours a week. 

He says the managers were the first to step up to the plate adding this budget turmoil didn't start two years ago and they were the first to take a two year wage freeze.

Court adds managers are on call 7 days a week and they are not protected by union rules.
