The vote was down the party line, 4 republicans to 3 democrats. darrell sheppard, district e i hate that this is a split issue. Its not my intent at all because i can assure you that theres a lot of democrats in district e that feel the same way. chris tuck, district if you fire half your staff and then we have to get folks in, im not going to be voting for you to have a supplement, and any other constitutional officer. We have to pay them a certain amount but if were going to pay them extra, we expect exrra. stand up but the issue took so long because some believed Erica Williams may have been within her rights to not rehire those employees. annette perkins, district a we have no right because we really dont know what really transpired. mary biggs, district f i think it sets a precedent that can possibly be challenged in court and i would suggest if our board wants to pursue a discussion of supplements, we do so at budget time. Williams will still get 120thousand dollars from the state, but here in Montgomery County, the issue appears to be closed. annette perkins, district a this is probably the most unusual situation i have ever encountered in my 18 years on this board.
