[quote=sdrealtor]If there are no comparable jobs in the private sector then why do we have to pay them so much? Why would they leave? Where would they go? There are no comparable jobs in the private sector. You just murdered your case. The defense rests.[/quote]
I was thinking the same thing. Why pay someone more when you know they can’t and won’t leave? Lets try to pay them less and less till we find where the breaking point is. Then that would be the market price. With the money saved, we can either lower taxes and improve service by hiring more.
