Chris, you had me rolling on the floor with "us do like books good," LBMA's yellow flag/red flag criteria, and best of all, City officials wanting to focus on tearing down the library and Acres before tackling the breakwater. Keep it coming!AngieThu, 21 Aug 2008 14:54:19 -0000http://districtweekly.disqus.com/misty_may_treanor_makes_the_long_beach_half_of_olympic_history/#comment-1722627Congrats to Misty and Kerri! You girlies made us proud.AngieThu, 21 Aug 2008 14:56:46 -0000http://districtweekly.disqus.com/stationed_in_afghanistan_a_long_beach_librarian8217s_plea/#comment-1723462Theo, thank you for your ongoing coverage of this issue. The Long Beach Business Journal just released its issue with all the city salaries above $100k. Pat West? $235k. Chief Batts? $219k. ED of the Harbor? Yep, the top paid employee at $270k. And this is just the cash compensation. They get hugely generous benefit and pension plans. If you look at total compensation, we've given away the store at the expense of those who need it the most. It's a travesty and, as LB citizens, we should be embarrassed of ourselves.AngieThu, 21 Aug 2008 16:01:16 -0000
