This seems to have slipped off the radar? The new Central Coast CEOs pay package of $517,000 is way over the normal salary range and no political weasel words can justify such a high remuneration.
Let’s just get a comparison $517.000 equal to :-
3 Politicians
4 Doctors
6 Nurses
6 Police personnel
6 Council directors
8 Council workers
Etc etc
How many Senior citizens probably 25?
How many Ratepayers to support that pay packet over 250!
What will be the plan? Remove planning restrictions. sell off infrastructure (water and sewer) Council properties and land. Remove opposition to anything they deem a priority. Increase Rates opps! that’s already a done deal. Increase water charges – in the pipeline so to speak. Reduce Elected Councillors and increase the number of people they represent so the ratepayers have no voice. “To streamline the system ” as the catch phrase goes. Democracy by a thousand cuts leaves us with what? A State run dictatorship?
