You know...if you start messing with the Coachella Valley Mosquito and Vector Control Board....you are sure to trigger a massive resignation effort...no one managing the mosquito efforts, and your entire summer is ruined by an overflow of mosquitoes. I wouldn’t be messing with this deal.
I hate to break this to you....but if you are demanding qualified folks...especially with a science background...and we are talking PhD type degree...then the salary is likely correct. I realize that this more than some state governors make (at least Mississippi)....but a science requirement and a educational requirement...are totally separate. If you give the country school super a pay raise...then the teachers will demand one too.
I agree. Better to let sleeping dogs lie. Hasn’t this State suffered enough embarrassment this week? Think about how much worse it could get. What if Paris Hilton gets bit by a West-Nile laden mosquito while in Palm Springs recovering from her prison ordeal? Why, we’d be the laughing stock of the nation!
It ain't the guys salary that is in question. That is chump change. Everyone knows the salaries of the public sector. That is not at issue.
