Well, there was much laughing when Mayor Ragsdale indicated that his Director’s and Executive Staff were making under private sector salaries. I would agree that it is the private sector’s business to reward based on their profits and I would agree that when you work in the government that you should not expect to get rich and should not expect BIG raises.

But, no hue and cry when the liberals favorite Governor, Prince Phillip of Nashville makes the same argument. Prince Phillip justified the raises by saying “the new rates make their compensation “a little more reasonable.” But instead of a few thousand dollars Prince Phillip of Nashville shells out millions in recurring taxpayer dollars.

The biggest joke is the 62.63% increase for Lana “Schools are Worse on My Watch” Seivers. Seivers should donate the additional $69,336 per year that she obtained from you and me to fund a teacher or two. The Public Education System in Tennessee has gotten worse since she became Tennessee Commissioner of Education.

If anybody thinks that Lana Seivers can make $180,000.00 a year in the private sector. Then Lakeshore has a bed for you tonight.

Prince Phillip of Nashville should have campaigned on raising the salaries on the incompetent ones during the campaign.

This is NO different than when Governor Don Sundquist kept quiet about a State Income Tax until he was back in office.

All of you liberals made fun of our Jim Bryson campaign talking about our BIG vision and a BIG Heart. Well, now we know that the only thing that Prince Phillip of Nashville does is reward incompetence in a BIG, BIG way.
