Pay freeze helps Beloit city budget
ADVERTISEMENT
From the WCLO newsroom:
The City of Beloit's bargaining units have agreed to a pay freeze, reducing pressure on the city's budget.
City Manager Larry Arft says employees have a pay freeze that will run until December 2011.
Arft says Beloit has a much better budget than other cities in Wisconsin and other parts of the country. He says the city is relatively fortunate.
The city council meets throughout the day in a budget workshop then later holds a public hearing on the budget at its regular council meeting Monday night.

How about Arft taking a salary cut as well?

Maybe if the city council checked into some of the inane spending of the city manager and his co-horts they would not need to freeze employees wages. I wonder if they will do the same with salaried employees including themselves. If they really want to save money then they should freeze their own as well, not likely but what is good for one should be good for everyone.
