Tony Luna stated at the April 15, 2014 regular
Council Meeting that the Deputy Mayor’s son received the same pay increases as
the rest of the DPW employees and has the same steps:
Was Mr. Luna telling the truth?
Mr. Luna created a document showing that he hired
the Deputy Mayor’s son in “Building and Grounds” with a $32,000 starting salary. The same document shows that he hired two
others in the “DPW” shortly after and also listed a $32,000 starting salary. Records show all three were enrolled in the state
pension program the same year(2012).
Should the base salary of the Deputy Mayor’s son
have increased from $32,000 to $41,899 in just one year? That is a 31% raise.
