I know this may be disengenous but I kinda need some help from my friends here at CA.
I am an employee of Baker County, Florida. Most of you know that I am an EMT that works on a 911 ambulance here and am also the president of the local IAFF here. We haven't had a salary increase for the second year in a row. The board of county commissioners have found some money that is a refund, enough to give each county employee a one time $1000.00 bonus. Most of you probably think I make more money than I do, but that's ok most people do.

What I need from you is for you to go and vote on a poll running on the local newspapers website. the poll is over on the right hand side and asks the simple question; should county employees receive bounuses this year. We have some citizens that are pitching a fit and I have had to go and address the board and support this decision, and I think they will give it but help always- well helps.

If you could go and vote on this poll it would be awesome. The link to the website is http://www.bakercountypress.com/

Thanks for your help.

This is prolly going to blow the minds of the people who are opposed. Friends are always a good thing. I am sure they can prolly check the IPs and tell that most votes weren't local, but heck a skewed poll in our favor will be a heck of a lot better and more fun than a run of the mill poll.:-)

Voted :-)

We only have about 35,000 people in the whole county, this should be entertaining to say the least. I don't have great ideas very often but I think this one was a good one if I do say so myself.:-)

I voted for you. I work in a local government finance department. It always amazes me the number of citizens who are opposed to government employees getting a raise or bonus. If they knew what their tax dollars were really wasted on, our getting raises would be the least of their concerns.

Done even though the Yes' are still lagging.

I'm curious-what is the point of the poll other than to stir the pot for the local residents? If your board is making decision based upon a newspaper poll, you're got major problems.

Everyone wants a raise, but at the end of the day, millions have had their salaries actually cut (not held steady, but actual cuts) or lost their jobs in the past 2 years, so those are the people you're not going to win over or gain any of their sympathy.

Voted "yes."

I know what EMTs go through. As a volunteer chaplain, I don't get anything. They wanted to cut what we do get, which is only my dues for the Internation Conference of Police Chaplains - about $75 a year. There are no other chaplains in the county.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
